The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has commenced investigations into the bank accounts of some individuals and organisations allegedly sponsoring the planned nationwide protest, Daily Trust reports.
It was gathered that the anti-graft agency was directed to liaise with the Department of State Services (DSS) to get full details of the individuals and organisations that had earlier been identified as sponsors of the protest.
A highly-placed official of the EFCC confided in our correspondent on Monday that the detailed information of the sponsors had been gotten, and that the agency had commenced its probe into their bank accounts immediately.
This, the source said, would help the commission to know the extent of their level of involvement in case violence erupts in any part of the country, adding that the anti-graft agency would ensure that terrorism funding was prevented.
