NAFDAC Boss Drilled by EFCC for Alleged Contract Scam
Today, the Director General National Agency for
Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Paul Orhii was today quizzed
by Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged contract scam
and abuse of office.
According to source at the EFCC Abuja office, the
embattled DG arrived at the commission at about 10: am and was subsequently
drilled by the EFCC operatives
He visit was premised on an invitation extended
to him by the anti-graft commission requesting him to come and state his own
side of the case.
Even though the details of the allegations
against him are not released yet by the anti-graft agency, another source
linked his travail to a petition by the former Director of Finance of the
agency, Ademola Mogbojuri, accusing him of graft.
The press however learnt that after being drilled
for several hours, he was granted administrative bail.
The EFCC spokesman cannot be reached to confirm
the story.
Meanwhile, the NAFDAC DG had last week alleged
that the allegations against him by his ex-staff was aimed at destroying his
reputation, adding that there was no single merit in the petition which he
forwarded to the EFCC.
Orhil
said Mogbojuri was incompetent, the reason he said he moved him out of
the Finance Department.
