A group known as Concerned Edo Citizens has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), to probe alleged impunity and corruption perpetrated by the Adams Oshiomhole’s administration in the construction and procurement of equipment for Edo Specialist Hospital
The group in a peaceful protest to the Benin Zonal Office of the EFCC on Friday, said they decided to remind the anti-graft agency to investigate the circumstances that led to the alleged misappropriation of funds running into billions of naira .
A spokesperson for the group, Teddy Osagunywenwa, said they had gone to the EFCC to remind them about investigating the loss of billions of naira in the hospital project which is yet to be equiped and as such contributed to loss of several lives in the state.
According to him, the group had submitted a petition to their lawyer,but over three months now they have not been informed about the petition which was the reason they had gone to the EFCC office to remind them to probe Oshiomhole.
In his response, the Head of Public Affairs of EFCC in Benin, Williams Oseghale assured the protesters that the Commission will look into the petition.
