EFCC gets new chairman, AIG Hakeem Odumosu rtd.
Unconfirmed report has revealed that a Retired Assistant Inspector General of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, has been appointed as the substantive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
President Bola Tinubu gave the approval on Tuesday.
The appointment of Odumosu, a former Lagos State Commissioner of Police, is subject to confirmation by the Senate.
Odumosu replaces Abdulrasheed Bawa, who was recently suspended by President Tinubu to pave way for investigation into allegations of abuse of power levelled against him.
The new EFCC boss retired from the Nigeria Police Force in January 2022, shortly after his elevation to the rank of Assistant Inspector General (AIG) and after serving for 32 years.
He served as the first chairman of Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Enforcement Unit (Taskforce) and also the Commander of the State-funded Rapid Response Squad (RRS).
