The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission may soon beam its searchlight on the administrations of former Lagos State governors, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Babatunde Raji Fashola, following a fresh request to probe corruption allegations under them.
A petition addressed to the EFCC and Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, is seeking investigations into the tenures of Tinubu, who served as Lagos governor from 1999 to 2007, and Fashola who was governor of the state from 2007 to 2015.
The petition written by the Coalition Against Corruption and Impunity was signed by its Coordinator and Secretary, John Olufemi and Mohammed Sanni, respectively.
The group wants the EFCC, Attorney-General and Inspector General of Police to look into previous allegations that were yet to be treated by the anti-graft agency.
Some of the allegations identified by the coalition include:
