The South-South Zonal Director of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, Mr Abdulrasheed Bawa says the commission has secured fourteen convictions in their fight against corruption within a few months in the region.
Bawa who is the Deputy Chief Detective Superintendent said the breakthrough was based on the level of investigation and professionalism put at work by officials of the commission.
Bawa who spoke when the Federal Commissioner, Public Complaints Commission, Marshall Israel led officials of his commission on a working visit to the EFCC office in Port Harcourt said the commission depends on their investigation in the court.
The South-South Zonal Director of EFCC while addressing the meeting, said the commission is faced with the regular issue of oil bunkering, threatening that the commission under his watch will not rest in fighting it just as he appealed to PCC to assist in sensitizing the public against oil bunkering in the state.
