BREAKING: EFCC arrests ex-DSS DG Ita Ekpeyong

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday arrested a former Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Ita Ekpeyong.

According to reports, operatives of the anti-graft agency arrived the house of Ekpeyong in three buses and some patrol vehicles accompanied by over 20 armed policemen.

The operatives then searched the mansion for over two hours before leaving at 3.20pm.

It was observed that no cash was recovered.

The raid occurred barely 10 months after the DSS under the leadership of the recently sacked DG, Lawal Daura, prevented EFCC men from searching or arresting Ekpeyong despite a court order.
