EFCC Blows Hot, Vows To Prosecute NAF Officers

Anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has revealed that the personnel of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), arrested on Friday in Kaduna State, would be charged in court at the conclusion of investigation.

Recall that some military personnel stormed the Kaduna Command of EFCC on Friday in an attempt to free some arrested fraudsters.

Operatives of the two security agencies had clashed at the command, leading to the arrest and detention of the NAF officers.

They were, however, released on administrative bail hours after the arrest.

Giving an update on the matter, EFCC Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, said in a statement on Saturday that the officers were “released to their Service in strict adherence to the bail procedures of the Commission”.

“The Nigerian Air Force, NAF, personnel released on administrative bail by the Kaduna Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Friday, November 17, 2023, will be charged to court at the conclusion of the ongoing investigation.

“The Commission reiterates the fact that no one is above the law and due process will be followed in bringing the case to a conclusion”.
