Nigerians have been told by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission that the fire that occurred at the commission’s Enugu Zonal Command on May 5 will not have an impact on its activities.
During an inspection visit to the Command on Sunday, Dr. George Ekpungu, Secretary to the Commission, provided this assurance.
After giving reporters a tour of the damaged premises, Ekpungu addressed the media and expressed his relief that neither a person’s life nor any important aspects of the commission’s work were harmed.
The ANAEDOONLINE REPORTS that a surge in the public power supply is believed to have caused the fire event.
However, the commission’s secretary noted that until the ongoing investigation is concluded, EFCC would not make any categorical statement on the cause of the inferno.
EFCC: Rochas Okorocha Is Not In Our Custody
He said, “We cannot at this point in time know the exact cause of the fire but the preliminary investigation reveals it was a spark. We are grateful to God that no life was lost and our critical components of operations were saved. For now, we don’t know the cause of the inferno but the investigation will tell us the cause of the fire and that will be done by professionals. We thank God that in the records, our armoury, suspects, detainees and every other thing critical to our work are safe.
“And you know EFCC is ICT sophisticated. Whatever we have here, we have it at head office. So, we have a way of recovering a lot of things. So, since the coming of our chairman, we have been digitalising our processes. What happened here will not affect our operations.”
