The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) today invited the Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Paul Orhii, for interrogation over alleged abuse of office and contract scam. Mr Orhii’s invitation for questioning followed allegations of supplies made at NAFDAC, linked to his personal company. A source said
that Mr Orhii arrived at the Wuse Abuja headquarter of the agency earlier today. He has been granted administrative bail, as he is expected to re-appear before the EFCC. The source confirmed.
Mr Orhii Denies Arrest in a statement by his Director of Special Duties, Abubakar Jimoh, Mr Orhii denied claims that he was arrested by the EFCC, saying he went there on his own volition. He explained that a former Director of Finance and Accounts of NAFDAC, Mr Demola Mogbojuri, had initiated a corruption allegation against him and that the claims were ‘unsubstantiated, mindless and spurious,’ the statement read.
