February 05, (THEWILL) – Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Tuesday raided the headquarters of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria in Abuja over alleged fraud.
The operatives, who arrived at the commission in a white bus at exactly 11 a.m., left the premises with the spokesperson of the commission, Fatimah Usara, and three other staff members.
While the anti-graft agency has yet to confirm the raid, the arrest may not be unconnected to an ongoing investigation concerning the misappropriation of funds.
Recall that the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission had also raided the headquarters of the commission over the alleged mismanagement of the N90 billion intervention fund for the 2024 Hajj.
