Before their suspension, some of the EFCC officials were handling sensitive investigations before they received letters notifying them of their suspension from the anti-graft agency on Monday.

A source speaking to TheNation said: “After being in limbo for one week, we got our suspension letters on Monday.

“We were informed that the suspension is indefinite. We have taken it in good faith. But most of us have not received queries in our career.

“We have not even appeared before any disciplinary committee. We appeal to President Mummadu Buhari to intervene by reversing the suspension.”

“It wasn’t a friendly session but we were able to make some clarifications on our performance in office.

“A Coordinator told the committee that service and loyalty to Nigeria guided their conduct in the office rather than sentiments.”
