EFCC clashes with NAF personnel in Kaduna over fraud suspects
Although the newspaper said it could not independently verify if military personnel were involved, the Adamawa police said investigations were ongoing to ascertain the cause of the attack and those behind it.
A similar incident occurred last Friday between officials of the EFCC and some personnel of the Nigerian Air Force at the Kaduna Zonal Command of the anti-graft agency.
The NAF personnel were said to have stormed the commission’s office in an attempt to release their colleagues earlier arrested by EFCC operatives for allegedly attempting to forcibly release fraud suspects from custody.
The anti-graft agency noted that its operatives arrested five suspects at an eatery located in the Barnawa area of the state on Monday following credible intelligence about their alleged internet-related fraud activities.
