The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)is investigating more personal aides of former President Goodluck Jonathan. According to an official of the agency, who preferred anonymity because he was not authorised to speak on the issue, the decision to investigate the ex- presidential aides –– some of who were Special Advisers and Personal Assistants –– is not unconnected with some findings which allegedly linked them to fraud-related offences and other financial improprieties. It was gathered that preminary findings suggest varying levels of involvement of the ex-aides in the alleged large-scale frauds. Although the source refused to disclose whether or not the allegations against the former aides were related to the arms procuments deals probes, he said documentary evidence indicting the aides in various frauds necessitated the investigation. The affected aides, according to the source, included some ex-service men and full-time politicians from the Southsouth, Southwest and North. He added that the affected Nigerians were yet to be invited for interrogation. The source said the names of all the indicted aides in the alleged financial improprieties would be sent to the offices of the National Security Adviser (NSA) and Attorney- General of the Federation and Minister for Justice for further clarification and legal advice. “We have gone far on our investigation on the affected aides. We are concentrating on the ex-service men among them for now because we are working on the substantive and overwhelming documents at our disposal to carry out the investigation after that we will move to other individuals or core politicians. “We are not on a witch- hunting mission; we rely on information from members of the public to uncover financial frauds. Going by preliminary findings, most, if not all the affected former presidential aides involved in the allegations would soon face the wrath of the law.” The commission’s spokesperson, Wilson Uwujare’s mobile telephone number was not available when he was called to comment on these issues as at the time of filing this report.

Efcc not probing APC members is the height of corruption. You don't build a nation this way. Buhari is too old to keep behaving this way. You didn't see how Mandela set his country on the path of greatness even when he could have been petty and vindictive. Probe all the PDP guys but also probe those that have decamped into APC
