EFCC swoops on SSS Finance Director with links to Daura

Published

Anti-corruption operatives in Abuja are currently grilling the Assistant Director of Finance at the country’s secret police agency otherwise known as the SSS, Kunle Kadri, for alleged fraud and mismanagement; inside sources at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have told PREMIUM TIMES.

Mr Kadri, an accountant and a financial manager, was whisked from his home Tuesday in handcuffs and is currently detained at the cells of the Idiagbon House headquarters of the EFCC in Abuja.

The EFCC is not officially speaking on Mr Kadri’s investigation but usually reliable inside voices hinted on Wednesday of “alarming holes and loose nets” that are invariably destined to end at the gatehouse of the former director general of the SSS, Lawal Daura, who was dismissed from service last year when he sent ninja-like, gun-toting, masked men to the National Assembly to try take over the parliament and achieve the purpose of the executive branch of the government.
