The EFCC has commenced investigations into the bank accounts of some individuals & organisations allegedly sponsoring the planned nationwide protest, Daily Trust is reporting.
It is reported that the anti-graft agency was directed to liaise with the Department of State Services to get full details of the individuals & organisations that had earlier been identified as sponsors of the protest.
A highly-placed official of the EFCC confided in Daily Trust’s correspondent on Monday that the detailed information of the sponsors had been gotten & that the agency had commenced its probe into their bank accounts immediately.
This the source said, would help the commission to know the extent of their level of involvement in case violence erupts in any part of the country, adding that the anti-graft agency would ensure that terrorism funding was prevented.
“Details of those sponsoring the planned nationwide protest slated to begin on Thursday have been fully acquired. We have begun investigations on them in earnest.
