The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it is investigating 18 Nigerian states over alleged mismanagement of public funds. Both reports state that the investigations relate to concerns about how state officials handle and manage public financial resources, and that the EFCC is using its powers to probe potential financial wrongdoing.
One source also notes that the EFCC confirms actions affecting Osun State, including an account freeze connected to the probe. The other report likewise frames Osun’s situation as part of the broader pattern of enforcement, and adds reference to an earlier precedent involving Edo State.
While the reports do not list all 18 states in the provided excerpts, they agree on the EFCC’s overall position: the commission is actively conducting inquiries and, where necessary, taking steps to restrict access to accounts as part of its investigation process. The EFCC’s statements indicate that the matter is ongoing and depends on findings from the commission’s review of financial activities at the state level.
