 Over 25 million phones stolen in one year – FG The Crime Experience and Security Perception Survey report of the National Bureau of Statistics, a Federal Government agency, shows that Nigeria recorded 25.35 million phone theft cases between May 2023 and April 2024. According to the report, this was the most common type of crime within the period under review. The report read, “The number of crimes experienced by individuals in Nigeria was analysed over a period of time. The results show that theft of phones (25,354,417) was the most common crime experienced by individuals, followed by consumer fraud (12,107,210) and assault (8,453,258). However, hijacking of cars (333,349) was the least crime experienced by individuals within the reference period.” It also noted that most phone theft cases occurred either at home or in a public place, and about 90 per cent of such cases were reported to the police.

MAGU'S CHIEF OF STAFF NOT UNDER INVESTIGATION-EFCC.#PRESS STATEMENT.

      The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has been drawn to a news report entitled, Magu's Chief of Staff Under Investigation for Bribery and Unalwful Enrichment, which was published by online news platforms, First Weekly Magazine, and Nigeriannewsdirect, alleging that Mr. Ola Olukoyede, Chief of Staff to Ibrahim Magu, acting chairman EFCC, is under investigation for alleged corruption.
The publications purports that Mr. Olukoyede defrauded some prominent "Nigerian(sic)...under the guise of assisting (sic) to curry (sic) from his boss, Ibrahim Magu." It went on to list an unnamed former Nigerian State governor and a prominent Chief from the southwest among his alleged victims. The latter, the publications claimed, lost N100m to the Chief of Staff!
The salacious claims continued with the strange revelation that EFCC "discovered a mind-boggling amount of money in his personal accounts", which supposedly forced the Vice President to order an internal probe.The icing was the disclosure that Mr. Olukoyede was detained and thereafter placed on suspension.
The narrative and the issues raised are strange to the EFCC. As far as the Commission is concerned, Mr. Ola Olukoyede is not under any investigation and could, therefore, not have been detained or suspended. The Commission has no record of any petition by anybody calling into question the integrity of the Chief of Staff. So stories about a former governor or a prominent south west chief accusing him of wrong doing are at best fictional.
Consequently, the Commission is inclined to dismiss these publications as the handiwork of mischief makers who are out to impugn the hard earned reputation of Mr. Olukoyede for reasons that are not clear.The Commission consequently enjoins members of the public to disregard the publication for what it is : fake news!
