“Their objective is to befuddle the work of the Commission, and through scaremongering, intimidate it into a timid mode,” he said.
Oyewale emphasized that the EFCC will continue its investigations into both ruling and opposition party members, insisting that all political actors facing corruption allegations have no hiding place.
He reiterated the commission’s non-partisan stance and warned that any attempts to pressure the EFCC into revealing politically exposed persons under investigation will not be tolerated.
