The Diaspora Committee of the Osun State All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Campaign Council has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to freeze accounts allegedly linked to a reported ₦13.7 billion “ghost workers” salary scheme in the state.
The committee made the call in a statement issued on Friday in Osogbo by its Secretary, Tunmise Ajiboye.
It alleged that a consultant engaged by the state government in 2023 to audit its workforce discovered irregular salary payments amounting to about ₦13.7 billion annually, including cases where multiple workers’ salaries were reportedly paid into a single bank account.
