Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom yesterday, alleged that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC had become a department in the APC.
Ortom who defected from APC to PDP in July, said this during the swearing-in ceremony for nine new commissioners who replaced those sacked in August. According to governor Ortom, the antigraft agency is now doing only the bidding of its paymasters, the APC government.
“Despite intimidation from the EFCC that has become a department in APC, we are not going to be intimidated. In the past few months, civil servants working with me are being troubled for no just cause. Once you decamp from APC, EFCC comes after you. Fighting corruption should not be selective.” he said
He said the EFCC had been on the heels of members of a committee for the burial of the late Tor Tiv following the sum of N120 million used for “the burial and settling of the deceased family.”
The governor said:
”if we do anything wrong we are ready to face the law. But we will not succumb to intimidation.”
