EKO HOT BLOG reports that Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have reportedly stormed the office of BUA cement in relation to an investigation on the forex transactions of the company.
This online media platform understands the EFCC besieged the BUA Towers located at PC 32, Churchgate Street, Victoria Island, Lagos State, on Thursday.
The development followed an earlier ‘raid’ on the Lagos head office of Dangote Group on Thursday as well.
