The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has revealed that the extent of corruption within the power sector is distressing enough to bring people to tears.
Olukoyede made the revelation during an oversight visit by the House of Representatives Committee on Financial Crimes to the EFCC’s headquarters in Abuja, on Tuesday, November 12.
“As we speak, we are grappling with electricity. If you see some of the investigations we are carrying out within the power sector, you will shed tears.
People were awarded contracts to supply electricity equipment. Instead of using what they call 9.0 guage, they will go and buy 5.0.
Every time you see the thing tripping off, the thing gets burnt, and all of that, it falters and it collapses. It’s part of our problems,” he said.

The United State authorities have issued a wanted notice for 48-year-old Nigerian man, Olalekan Abimbola Olawusi, offering a $25,000 reward for tips that lead to his arrest.
The suspect, who is believed to have fled to Nigeria, faces charges of first-degree m+rder and two counts of inflicting serious bodily inj+ry to a child.
The charges stem from an April 3, 2017 incident in Providence, Rhode Island, where emergency personnel found Olawusi’s 3-month-old son in critical condition, bleeding from the mouth and nose.
The infant was hospitalized in cardiac arrest with numerous inj+ries indicating long-term ab+se, including skull and rib fractures.
Despite being placed on life support, the child passed away six months later.
Olawusi was subsequently arrested and charged with first-degree child ab+se in April 2017.
He was released the same day and subsequently fled. The m+rder charge was added following the infant’s d3ath October 31, 2017.
The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) investigation revealed that Olawusi had flown out of John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on June 20, 2017, using his Nigerian passport.
Investigators believe Olawusi may be receiving assistance from family members in Nigeria and that he could be a d+nger to other children.
In a statement, Don Freeman, Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal, urged anyone with information on Olawusi’s whereabouts to come forward.
Olawusi, who uses the alias Olekun Olawusi, stands 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs approximately 185 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes.

Police in Taraba State, reportedly following orders from Hajia Fatima Lau, the wife of Senator Shuaibu Isa Lau of Taraba North, arrested and detained skit maker Nafiu Hassan for several days, according to SaharaReporters.
Lau is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Deputy Senate Minority Leader.
Hassan had done a skit where he decried the deplorable condition of roads in the senatorial district. He said that many of the roads are now killing zones due to their bad state.
However, a source who spoke with the news outlet said: “Nafiu Hassan made a video about a month ago about bad roads and dilapidated health facilities in Taraba North. However, this video led to his arrest last Wednesday and he was detained till Sunday.
He was arrested by the police on the orders of the Senator’s wife. Nafiu was passing through the Senator’s street while the wife, Hajia Lau, was about to enter her residence in Old Commissioner Quarters in Jalingo.
So, she saw him and created a scene knowing he was the one that made a video about bad roads and dilapidated healthcare facilities in her husband’s village. She termed that as defamation of character and then ordered policemen attached to her to immediately arrest him. [SWIPE]
