The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has criticized the conduct of its former employee, Olakunle Alex Folarin, who was recently seen taking part in a matchmaking show on social media hosted by entertainer Lege Miami.
The commission said Folarin is to be arrested for unlawfully holding onto EFCC property, including his staff identity card, despite being dismissed from service over certificate forgery.
In a statement released via its official X handle on Monday, the EFCC disclosed that Folarin had worked as a driver at its Ibadan Zonal Office before investigations revealed he falsified his academic documents.
It said, “The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, condemned in the strongest terms, the involvement of one of its former staff, Olakunle Alex Folarin, in a matchmaking programme running on Lege Miami social media platforms.”
“Folarin was recently dismissed from the Commission for certificate forgery. He was a driver at the Ibadan Zonal Directorate of the EFCC.”
The statement said EFCC Executive Chairma,n Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has ordered Folarin to be arrested and emphasised that Folarin’s actions should not be associated with the commission.
“The Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has ordered his arrest for being in possession of some Commission’s properties, including an identity card, which he should have handed over upon being dismissed from the EFCC.
“The public is advised against associating Folarin’s post-dismissal conduct with the EFCC,” the statement concluded.
