LEGE MIAMI: EFCC ORDERS ARREST OF DISMISSED STAFF OVER FORGERY, RETENTION OF ID CARD
By Aishat Momoh. O.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has ordered the arrest of its former staff, Olakunle Alex Folarin, after he was spotted participating in a matchmaking programme hosted on social media by entertainer Lege Miami.
In a statement posted on its official X handle on Monday, the Commission said Folarin, who served as a driver at its Ibadan Zonal Directorate, was dismissed after investigations confirmed he forged his academic credentials.
The EFCC condemned his involvement in the online matchmaking show and stressed that his actions must not be linked to the image of the Commission.
“The Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has ordered his arrest for being in possession of some Commission’s properties, including an identity card, which he should have handed over upon dismissal,” the statement read.
The Commission urged the public not to associate Folarin’s post-dismissal conduct with the EFCC.
