The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has given bank employees June 1, 2021 deadline to declare their assets.
EFCC Chairman, Mr. Abdulrasheed Bawa, told State House correspondents yesterday in Abuja after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari that the move was aimed at checking the role of banks in keeping funds acquired illegitimately.
He stated that he discussed with the president efforts of the commission towards eradicating financial crimes.
He said: “Let me just put this, we understood that at the tail end of every financial crime is for the criminal to have access to the funds that he or she has illegitimately gotten and we’re worried about the roles of financial institutions.
