EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede dared accusers Sunday on Channels TV, swearing his career from chief of staff to secretary stays spotless – no bribes taken, not even "one bottle of Coke or N1" to sway judgments on asset disposals or probes. He threw down the gauntlet: "If you offered me a bribe and I collected, come out and say it," insisting no Nigerian can link looted loot to him or kin, framing his graft war as pure mandate loyalty amid whispers of selective hunts. The fiery defense lands hot after Malami money laundering digs started under prior boss Bawa, with Olukoyede batting away persecution cries while EFCC racks recoveries.
Olukoyede's bravado echoes past busts on "anticipatory declarations" where pols pre-list loot pads, but streets split – supporters hail clean-sheet zeal, cynics smell deflection as Tinubu's anti-corrupt crusader dodges own scrutiny in 2027 shadow games. X flares with #SackOlukoyede vs. #StandWithEFCC, tying to Katsina Atiku pledges and Umahi road rages, painting graft fights as elite chess. Naija watches wallets: does chair's dare deliver convictions or just soundbites? Probe heat rises, Olukoyede stands firm.
