The EFCC it was gathered has commenced an investigation of the financial affairs of the agency.

The EFCC investigation commenced with the quizzing last week of a very, very senior management official at the Abuja office of the commission. The investigation is focused on the opening of multiple accounts by the new management and the Private Public Partnership, PPP deal being worked out between the new management and an American outfit for a $15 billion rail project in the region.
