Is Mohammed Abba Umar EFCC Director of Operations?

Published

on

Following the removal of EFCC chairman, the Director of Operations was asked to take over. Many news reported Mohammed Abba Umar as the DOP to take over

 

This is FALSE, here’s what we know.

 

Punch, PM News, Vanguard carried it, Daily Trust and Thisday reported  Mohammed Umar as DOP

 

Findings showed that Umar was DOP under Ibrahim Magu’s leadership as acting chairman. He acted as chairman when Magu was removed in 2020 till Bawa was appointed.

 

Umar was redeployed to the police in Kano where he now serves as the DCP SCID.

 

Checking through the agency’s website, in a release on the 30th of May, 2023, CE Abdulkarim Chukkol, was reported as the DOP.

 

There has been no news of a replacement since then.

 

Bawa was told to hand over to the Director of Operations, therefore, if anyone is to takeover as acting chairman of EFCC, it will be Chukkol as DOP.

CONCLUSION

The claim that Umar is EFCC DOP is FALSE
