#Naming&Shaming – EFCC reveals Photo of Politician’s Aide accused of Offering N10Million Bribe to EFCC Staff

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) continues its hardline approach as the government agency has published the name and photos of a politician’s aide accused of offering an EFCC official a 10 Million Naira bribe.

Former Senior Special Assistant on Media to Bayelsa State Governor Henry Dickson – Abnedgo Don-Evarada was arrested on Monday in Port- Harcourt, Rivers State for offering a N10 million bribe to the EFCC’s Zonal Head in Port Harcourt.

According to the EFCC’s official statement;

Don-Evarada ran into trouble when he approached Salihu, over a case involving the Senior Special Assistant to the Bayelsa’s state governor on Millennium Development Goals, Apere Embelakpo and his wife, Fiene Beauty.

Embelakpo is being investigated for alleged diversion of N800 million being funds meant for the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) while his wife is being investigated for alleged money laundering, forgery and suspicious transactions to the tune of N200 million.

Don-Evarada offered the bribe ostensibly to compromise the EFCC investigation but his overture was turned down and was arrested.

He is being kept in the custody of the EFCC and would be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded, the EFCC stated.
