During a courtesy visit at the Police Force Headquarters in Abuja, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, expressed pride in having the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as a subsidiary of the Nigeria Police Force.
He referred to the EFCC as a commendable offspring of the Police and assured the commission of increased assistance.
“We are proud to have the EFCC as our child. We will continue to support you”, he said.
Earlier in his speech, Olukoyede applauded the police for nurturing the EFCC from infancy and expressed delight with the existing synergy between the two agencies.
“We are proud of the nurturing we received from the police and solicit more support, cooperation and collaboration given the specialized nature of our works”, he said.
He drew the attention of the IGP to the need for a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, between the police and the EFCC to address issues of overlapping of operations.
“There is no need to dissipate energy investigating similar cases. We can come up with an MoU to properly address such issues”, he said.
