The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has established an Immigration Fraud Section within several of its commands nationwide to address the growing issue of immigration fraud and its detrimental impact on Nigeria’s reputation.
EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede announced this development during a meeting with a delegation from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), led by Director General Superintendent Rabhi Abdallah, at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja.
Olukoyede revealed that the new section was created just two weeks ago in response to the increasing incidence of immigration-related fraud and the need to protect Nigerians from these scams. He emphasized the importance of safeguarding the integrity of Nigeria’s immigration processes.
The RCMP selected the EFCC for this collaborative effort due to its demonstrated efficiency, professionalism, and successful outcomes. Superintendent Abdallah praised the EFCC’s track record, noting it as a key factor in their decision.
Olukoyede expressed gratitude to the RCMP delegation for their partnership and assured them of the EFCC’s commitment to working together to combat immigration fraud.
