Ex DSS DG, Ita Ekpenyong

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission ( EFCC ) on Thursday arrested a former Director-General of the Department of State Security Service, Mr. Ita Ekpenyong, over alleged N17billion fraud in the agency.

The arrest was said to be part of ongoing probe of the sacked DG of the agency, Lawal Daura.

The two ex-DSS chiefs could not account for the cash in the last three years.
