The Osun State All Progressives Congress (APC) has formally requested the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) investigate and freeze accounts connected to a suspected ₦13.7 billion fraud. The APC’s Diaspora Committee alleges the funds were illicitly obtained through a “ghost workers” salary scheme within the state government. This request centers on claims of fraudulent payroll activity. The party is urging swift action to recover the alleged stolen funds and hold those responsible accountable. The APC made the call through its Governorship Campaign Council, seeking a thorough examination of financial records. Vanguard News first reported the development, highlighting the APC’s push for a comprehensive EFCC inquiry. No response from the EFCC or state officials has been reported as of yet.
