EFCC Officers To Face Disciplinary Panel Over alleged Assault On Hotel Worker

Two operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, are set to face disciplinary panel set up by the commission to investigate their involvement on alleged assault on a woman during a raid in a hotel in Lagos last Thursday.

In a statement by the spokesman of the anti-graft agency, Dele Oyewale, in Abuja, said the errant officers were to appear before the panel on Monday.

Oyewale said that the EFCC Chairman, Mr Ola Olukoyede, set up the disciplinary team to look into the case of the two errant officers of the commission who allegedly assaulted a female staff of the Regional Hotel, Ojo, Lagos.

Earlier, the officers were sighted in a viral video assaulting the staff of the hotel in an early morning sting operation on Thursday.

“Olukoyede ordered the arrest of the two officers and has directed them to appear before a joint Disciplinary Team comprising the Appointment, Promotion and Disciplinary Committee,  APDC and the Department of Ethics and Integrity.

“They are billed to appear before the Team on Monday July 1, at the Corporate Headquarters of the Commission,  Abuja.

“The team would look into the case of the officers and recommend appropriate disciplinary measures to be taken against them,” he said.

According to him,  Olukoyede stressed that no stone will be left unturned in getting the officers to account for their unprofessional conduct.
