The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) sealed a multi-billion naira Enugu Mall on Wednesday which was occupied by multinational retail outlet, SPAR. It was reported that EFCC officers stormed the building in the early hours of the day and dispersed all the workers.
Mr Chris Oluka, the Head of Public Affairs of EFCC, confirmed the incident to online sources, saying that the managers of the building flouted the directive of EFCC on the construction of the building. Oluka said that the officers from Abuja raided the mall and dispersed workers who were recently recruited preparatory to official opening of business on Friday.
In recall, the commission had earlier in the year sealed the mall, located beside the Enugu State House of Assembly, by writing the inscription ‘Under EFCC Investigation’. However, construction work continued at the site.
