EFCC Summons Dangote Group Officials Over Foreign Exchange Transactions.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has taken a significant step in its investigation into the foreign exchange transactions of the Dangote Group, summoning key officials to Abuja to provide detailed documents covering the conglomerate’s financial activities over the past nine years.
Operatives from the EFCC had previously visited the Dangote Group’s head office, where they seized certain documents on Thursday. However, these documents did not encompass all the relevant transactions under scrutiny.
