Why our DG went to EFCC – NAFDAC

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control on Monday denied the trending news that its Director General, Paul Orhii, was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and quizzed for hours over fraud related issues.
According to Abubakar Jimoh, NAFDAC’s Director of Special Duties, Orhii’s visit to the Commission was voluntary, not that he was arrested.
Jimoh further said Orhii visited the EFCC to explain the situation regarding allegation of corruption by a former Director of Finance and Accounts of the Agency, Ademola Mogbojuri.
Jimoh said: “The visit was at the personal volition of the DG to explain the situation regarding allegation of corruption by a former Director of Finance and Accounts of the Agency, Mr.Ademola Mogbojuri. Since last week, some officers who were mentioned in the allegation had gone to the EFCC to shed lights and clear the air on the mindless accusations.”
Jimoh noted that there was nothing unusual about in Orhii’s visit to the EFCC, adding that the DG should be applauded for his courage to want to engage the recalcitrant director who had “decided to dance naked in the public and become a willing tool in the hands of the counterfeiters to infiltrate our organized system”.
