The EFCC Chairman  also stressed that the Commission's core values  will always be upheld, reinforcing the Commission's  zero tolerance policy  towards corruption.
Warnings against  identity theft and blackmail schemes
The EFCC  has also issued a warning  on the activities of  identity thieves and blackmailers  who are using the name of its Executive Chairman to extort money from  persons under  investigation.
The commission disclosed that two members of  an alleged syndicate, Ojobo Joshua and Aliyu Hashim, were recently arraigned before Justice Jude Onwuebuzie of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in  Abuja.
The pair allegedly contacted Mr. Mohammed Bello-Kaka, former  Director-General of the Nigerian Ports Authority, demanding $1 million for "Olukoyede to  enable a soft landing"  as part of a non-existent  investigation.
In light of these developments, the EFCC  stressed that such fraudulent individuals are still active, targeting high-profile  suspects. The commission urged the public to report any fraudulent activities to the  authorities.
Attempted extortion against EFCC  agents
The EFCC  has also addressed the growing  problem of  extortion attempts  targeting its  agents. According to the Commission, suspects  under investigation for economic and financial  crimes, who have failed to compromise  investigators, often resort to  blackmail. The EFCC  has requested that  these blackmailers not be  held accountable because they are  only trying to  frustrate the Commission's efforts to  combat it.
