EFCC Grills NAFDAC DG Over Multi-Million Naira Fraud
The Director-General of the National Agency for Food, Drugs Administration and Control, NAFDAC, Dr. Paul Orhi, has been taken into custody by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over allegations bordering on abuse of office and corruption.
As at the time of posting, Dr. Orhi was still being questioned by a crack team of EFCC detectives as he was said to have awarding contracts running into millions 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 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 or not.

Anybody close to me knows that I don't like money- Rotimi Amaechi
Former Rivers state governor, Rotimi Amaechi said people close to him
know that he doesn't like money. He said this yesterday August 2nd
during a special reception held in his honor by some of his friends in
Abuja,. The comment was made in response to allegations by Governor
Nyesom Wike that he embezzled money while in office.
"Governor Nyesome Wike has again sponsored one advert in a bid to rubbish me. Only God knows that if there is one thing I don’t like, I don’t like money. Anybody close to me knows that I don’t like money. The governor and PDP are afraid of me getting an appointment to the national executive council. The current president abhors corruption and the only way they can stop me from getting the appointment is to paint me with corruption. And the people that know me in Rivers State know that I don’t like money. In Rivers, people know I don’t like money.” he said
