Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday raided the home of a former Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS) Ita Ekpeyong.
Officers of the commission, according to Premium Times, arrived the former DSS boss’ home just before noon, in an anti-corruption raid that was reportedly sanctioned by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.
The report has it that there was a heavy presence of armed police officers on both entrances to the street as well as by the house with Hilux security vehicles were also parked close to the house.
The anti-graft agency was said to have accused Ekpeyong of being culpable in the arms purchase scandal that reportedly happened under ex-president Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.
