Breaking News: EFCC Orders Arrest of Dismissed Staff Caught on Lege Miami’s Matchmaking Show
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has condemned the actions of one of its former staff, Olakunle Alex Folarin, who was recently spotted participating in a matchmaking programme on social media hosted by entertainer Lege Miami.
Folarin, who served as a driver at the EFCC’s Ibadan Zonal Directorate, was dismissed from the Commission after investigations revealed that he forged his academic credentials.
In a statement released on its official X handle on Monday, the EFCC disclosed that Folarin retained official property belonging to the agency, including an identity card, which he failed to return upon dismissal.
“The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, condemns in the strongest terms, the involvement of one of its former staff, Olakunle Alex Folarin, in a matchmaking programme running on Lege Miami’s social media platforms,” the statement read.
“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,” it added.
The agency stressed that Folarin’s actions should not be associated with the EFCC, warning the public against linking his post-dismissal conduct to the Commission.
