EFCC Arrests Own Staff ‘Bribed’ By Lawmaker

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, says it has arrested one of its operatives for allegedly collecting a N15 million bribe.




The commission said in a statement on Friday that Uzodinma Agbazue, a deputy detective superintendent, was arrested on Thursday for “offences bordering on criminal conspiracy and extortion”.

Mr. Agbazue was arrested following a complaint by a lawmaker currently under investigation by the Commission, the statement signed by the commission’s spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, said.

The lawmaker alleged that the EFCC detective collected N15 million from him with a promise to compromise the investigation.

According to the complainant, Mr. Agbazue allegedly approached him, claiming he had been mandated by the officer handling the case to discuss and reach an agreement on how to “kill the case”, the statement said.

“Following the approach, a sum of N15 million was given to Agbazue whose game plan collapsed after the Investigating officer, who was ignorant of his scheme, refused to do his bidding,” Mr. Uwujaren said.

“With the investigation gathering increased momentum after parting with the hefty sum, the complainant became uncomfortable and demanded a refund.
“The complainant stated that, when he requested for the refund of his money, Agbazue only returned N5 million claiming that the balance of N10 million had been given to someone “to kill the case from the top”,” the statement adds.

The lawmaker also alleged that the operative collected N1 million at a different time as assistance for settlement of his wife’s medical bill.
“Agbazue’s action is in contravention of the Commission’s mandate and ideals as the EFCC will not solicit or accept gratification from a suspect to compromise a case under investigation,” EFCC said.

“The suspect will be subjected to administrative action as precursor to possible prosecution at the end of the investigation.”

    Tough luck, he was caught. Truly,the majority of them are as corrupt as the system itself. Both the giver and receiver are liable.

    1. Before scrolling down, I knew it would be someone from the South that would be used as a scapegoat to give the corrupt EFCC some cred. EFCC is a very corrupt organisation. They just had to sacrifice this one because he bears "Uzodinma". Where are all the criminal abokis in EFCC? Saleh, Kabir, Rakiya,.... we know them.

    1. He's not the only one that does such, but he's the only one that was caught. He should be punished severely for trying to sabotage the commission

  5. Great move by the EFCC....they need to fish out the rotten eggs...Institutional corruption is our major problem in Nigeria and until we are able to flush out such, the anti corruption fight will not work...I hope they make a scapegoat of him and his cohorts and every other person as soon as possible found culpable as a deterrence.

    Sometimes, some stories which are fictions can sound real.
