Two EFCC Staff Jailed Over N100, 000 Bribe


Two officers of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Douglas William and Abba Ishaku, who were arraigned before an Abuja High Court for a four-count charge bordering on conspiracy and obtaining money under false pretence, have been sentenced to five years imprisonment without an option of fine.

Trouble started for the officers when they allegedly demanded for N100, 000 from Kullima Kachalla, a former Chairman of Bama Local Government in Borno state in 2010, by posing as investigators of the EFCC.
They were alleged to have asked Mr. Kachalla to send them the money in order to bribe other investigators of the Commission to destroy a petition written to the EFCC, which indicted him (the former chairman) for alleged mismanagement of public funds.
