The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has begun an investigation of the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio; and the acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Prof Kemebradikumo Pondei.
This was made known in an invitation letter signed by the Head, Economic Governance Section, Adebayo Adeniyi, dated August 14, 2020, and addressed to a group, Foundation for True Freedom and Good Governance, led by activist, Deji Adeyanju.
