    The International Criminal Police Organization, INTERPOL, through its Maritime Security Unit has sought collaboration with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

    Dele Oyewale, EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity disclosed this in a statement.

    The collaboration is part of concerted efforts to combat transnational fraud and to check fraudulent malpractices in the maritime sector.

    The call was made in Lagos on Friday, January 17, 2025 when Mr. Ademola Olude, Criminal Intelligence Officer from the Maritime Security Unit of INTERPOL, led a delegation including four members from Ghana on a courtesy visit to the acting Zonal Director, Lagos Directorate of the EFCC, Assistant Commander of the EFCC, ACE1 Michael Wetkas.

    Olude, who commended the EFCC for its vigorous corruption-fighting efforts, stressed that the visit was to seek areas of collaboration to combat transnational crimes that are perpetrated across borders.

    “The Maritime Security Unit of the INTERPOL is tasked with implementing a project called Agwe, a codename for the project aimed at providing capacity-building among West African member countries, particularly in the areas of investigations and exchange of information in the maritime domain,” he said.

    He said that the project was running in Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Cameroon, Liberia, Côte d’Ivoire, Cape Verde, Togo, The Gambia, and Benin Republic.

    “We have partnership with 10 different countries in Africa, including Nigeria, and our aim is to reinforce collaboration to ensure maritime security, and we are willing to assist the EFCC in matters relating to border crimes,” he said.

    Wetkas appreciated the delegation for the visit and stressed that the EFCC remained resolute in its fight against all forms of economic and financial crimes, and placed premium value on collaboration with fellow law enforcement agencies.

    “We are not relenting in our efforts to rid the country of corruption, particularly cybercrime, which has resulted in many internet fraudsters fleeing to neighbouring countries, and so this makes the need to strengthen collaboration across borders more imperative,” he said.

    He further reinforced the Commission’s willingness to partner with the INTERPOL to take the fight against corruption across the West African region.
