TWO KOGI OFFICIALS TURN THEMSELVES IN TO EFCC OVER ALLEGED CORRUPTION
Due to accusations of corruption, Abdulsalami Hudu and Umar Oricha, two representatives of the Kogi State Government, reported to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) headquarters on Monday.
The two Kogi state government officials’ decision to report to the EFCC office may have something to do with last week’s media reports that the Federal High Court in Abuja had ordered Hudu and Oricha’s arrest due to claims that they had taken out more than ₦46 billion in cash from the Kogi State government’s bank accounts.

Judge Emeka Nwite reportedly granted the order on Tuesday in a motion ex parte that the EFCC submitted, with the suit number being identified as FHC/ABJ/CS/909/2024.
Unverified rumors claim that the two officials’ decision to report to the EFCC may also have something to do with the Kogi State government’s willingness to uphold the law, encouraging its officials to do so even though they were not invited or given a warrant by the anti-corruption organization or any of its representatives.
The two officials, Oricha, the Director General of Government House Administration, and Hudu, the former cashier at the Kogi State Government House, were spotted visiting the EFCC headquarters in Abuja at the time of this report.
