There was laughter in the Senate today when the Senate President Godswill Akpabio told acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Ola Olukoyede, not to use him as an example in anti-corruption fight.
The Independent Mirror reported that Olukoyede, who appeared before the Senate for screening today, had cited Akpabio’s name as an example in his presentation on investigating a graft case but suddenly stopped when he realised the mood of lawmakers in the Chamber.

Akpabio has a N108.1 billion alleged theft of funds case before the anti-graft agency.
The commission commenced investigation of the former Akwa Ibom governor after a petition by an Abuja-based lawyer and activist, Leo Ekpenyong.
