Sahara Reporters targets Oddiri over Niger Delta funds privatisation
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) views with serious displeasure the insinuations contained in a news story published by Sahara Reporters titled: “DSS Abducts Lawyer Moses Oddiri in Lagos after Petition on Diversion of Funds by EFCC Chairman.”
According to a statement on Friday, 21 November 2025, signed by Head, Media and Publicity, EFCC, Dele Oyewale, the story, contrived to portray the arrest of Oddiri “on the orders and petition of the EFCC chairman over alleged diversion of funds intended for a community that Moses has been advocating for over the years,” is a falsehood taken too far.
