The Director-General of the National Agency for
Food, Drugs Administration And Control, NAFDAC,
Dr. Paul Orhi, has been summoned by operatives
of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission over allegations bordering on abuse
of office.
Dr. Orhi is currently being
questioned by a crack team
of detectives for allegedly
awarding huge contracts to
companies in which he has
interests.
An EFCC top source
confirmed to Vanguard that
the DG, who arrived the
commission’s headquarters
around 10am Monday had
been making useful
statement to its agents.
The source said: “It is true that the NAFDAC head
was summoned by us and he is currently being
quizzed in relation to allegations that he has been
awarding contracts running into millions of Naira
to companies close to him.
Asked if the man would be released today on self
recognition, the source said he had no idea but
that doing so might depend on whether the
operatives were satisfied with his answers to
issues raised against him.
Details shortly….
