The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is quizzing officials of Kogi State currently under its custody.
Kogi Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo, while disclosing this in a statement on Monday, said the reason for their invitation was not disclosed.
Fanwo said it may not be unconnected with ongoing investigations of present and past officials.
“The Kogi State Government can confirm that two of her officials are currently at the EFCC Headquarters in Abuja to honor the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
“We have not been told the specific details about their invitation, but it may not be unconnected to the ongoing investigations regarding some present and former Government officials.
“We hope that the EFCC will respond to the patriotic action of the officials by remaining professional in conducting their investigations.
“As a government, we are always prepared to cooperate with anti-graft agencies to prove our transparency and retain the confidence of our development partners who have consistently given us awards in recognition of our unflinching transparency, accountability and probity,” he said.
