Eighteen serving governors are currently being investigated by the the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The Executive Chairman of the commission, Ola Olukoyede, stated this in Lagos on Friday during a sensitisation programme on the ills of naira mutilation and abuse.

He, however, did not give the names of the Governors under investigation.

The agency will act when the tenure of the governors elapses.

He revealed that a former governor was arrested in the United Kingdom spraying Pounds in a hotel, adding that the former governor fled Nigeria to the UK a day after he handed over power.

Olukoyede said: β€œI will give you an experience we had in EFCC. There was a time in this country when we were investigating a governor. We don’t wait until they finish their tenures before we investigate.

β€œAs I’m talking to you, I’m investigating about 18 governors who are still serving. When they leave office, we will go to the next level.

β€œThis governor was investigated while he was in office. Immediately, he finished his tenure, the following day, he took off to England to avoid the arrest of EFCC.

β€œCoincidentally, that week happens to be his birthday. He organised a birthday party in the hotel where he was staying.

β€œWhile the party was going on, he started spraying pounds β€” 50 bills and 10 bills. So the manager of the hotel was called. He came down and saw the former governor spraying pounds. He had never seen such a thing in his life so he had to call 911.

β€œWhen the Metropolitan Police came, he asked that they should help arrest the former governor. The ex-governor was arrested and they wanted to put him in an ambulance.

β€œThe people β€” his friends, colleagues, and two governors β€” who went to London to celebrate with him had to intervene. They said the ex-governor was not a mad man because the hotel manager thought he was mad.”
