Reacting through a statement shared on its X handle, the EFCC condemned the action of Folarin whom the agency disclosed was employed as a driver and was initially deployed to the Ibadan Zonal office of the agency until he was discovered to have forged his employment documents.
According to the statement, “The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, condemned in the strongest terms, the involvement of one of its former staff, Olakunle Alex Folarin, in a matchmaking programme running on Lege Miami social media platforms.”
“Folarin was recently dismissed from the Commission for certificate forgery. He was a driver at the Ibadan Zonal Directorate of the EFCC.”
The agency revealed that its Executive Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, has ordered Folarin to be arrested and emphasised that Folarin’s actions should not be associated with 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 being dismissed from the EFCC.
“The public is advised against associating Folarin’s post-dismissal conduct with the EFCC.”
