The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has launched a mobile application named Eagle Eye to enable members of the public can now report cases of corruption to the commission.

Speaking during the launch, the Executive Chairman of the Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, described the App, being the first of its kind by any law enforcement agency in Nigeria, as a product of ingenuity by a staff of the Commission, being an application that was conceived, designed and developed by the EFCC.

According to him, the app is designed to guarantee the security of anyone reporting a case of corruption to the EFCC.

While noting that the commission will subject whatever complaints made via the app to scrutiny to ensure that people do not report others for malicious reasons, Mr Bawa added that the law will be wielded against anyone found guilty of filing false information to mislead the commission.

He further noted that the initiative is a clear demonstration of his pledge on assumption of office, to run an agency that is technology-driven. 

“The Eagle Eye represents a new experience in information sharing and crime reporting between the public and the EFCC”, he said.
