EFCC Investigates ANLCA’s Financial Records for 10 Years
By Francis Ugwoke
The Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) is currently investigating the financial records of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA) covering a period of 10 years.
A source told SHIPPING DAY that the investigation will look into income and expenditure of the association to ensure that no fraud was committed during this period.
It was gathered that the Vice President of the association, Dr. Kayode Farinto and the Secretary, Mr Babatunde Mukaila Abdulaziz and others have already been invited by the EFCC in respect of the probe.
The two were said to have presented the audited reports of the association, including the one for last year to the EFCC.
The EFCC is looking into the audited reports covering all income and expenses in respect of the association’s secretariat, our source hinted.
Our source added that the Commission wants to know specifically individuals and organisations that made donations in respect of the building to the association, whether in cash, transfer or cheque.
Our source also disclosed that the probe was sequel to the petition written to the EFCC by a strong member since December.
Our source added that the affected individuals who were invited over the petition were the ones that also in their own petition requested the EFCC operatives to investigate all income and expenditure in respect of the project.
It would be recalled that the association has been engulfed in Board crisis for the past one year.
When contacted the Publicity Secretary of the association, Mr Joe Sanni, confirmed the probe by EFCC.
