NAFDAC DG, Orhi Arrested By EFCC Over Alleged Graft

The Director-General of the National Agency for Food, Drugs
Administration And Control, NAFDAC, Dr. Paul Orhi, has been summoned
by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over
allegations bordering on abuse of office.

Dr. Orhi is currently being questioned by a crack team of detectives
for allegedly awarding huge contracts 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 today 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
against him.

Details shortly….
