The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has the support of a French Colonel and expert in Cybercriminality, Laurent Baile to fight against economic and financial crimes and other acts of corruption.
Baile made this disclosure yesterday in Abuja during a courtesy visit to the Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Ola Olukoyede.
He congratulated Olukoyede on his appointment and sued for greater collaboration with the EFCC on modalities for tackling cybercrimes and associated criminalities. Discussions were also held on issues about joint investigations and intelligence sharing.
Earlier, the EFCC Boss appreciated the visit, restating their resolve to drive the war against economic and financial crimes on the right focus.
