This reassuring commitment was made on Thursday, June 18, 2026, when the Acting Zonal Director of the Lagos Zonal Directorate 1 of the EFCC, Assistant Commander of the EFCC, ACE I Adebayo Adeniyi, led a delegation on a courtesy visit to the General Officer Commanding (GOC), 81 Division Nigerian Army, Major General Adebayo Abdulrahman Babalola, at the Division’s Headquarters in Lagos.
Speaking during the visit, Adeniyi reiterated the importance of strategic collaboration and synergy among security and law enforcement agencies. He noted that such cooperation must be institutionalised and sustained as a culture, given the evolving nature of economic crimes and security threats.
He added that the EFCC and the Nigerian Army have recorded notable successes through joint operations and intelligence-driven engagements, demonstrating the value of a sustained partnership. According to him, closer cooperation remains essential to strengthening the capacity of both institutions to address economic and financial crimes, terrorist financing, and other forms of economic sabotage.
“There are so many things we can do together. In the area of intelligence gathering, we have done a lot together, and we still have more to do. We are here to strengthen our synergy and identify areas where we can continue to support one another,” he said.
Adeniyi stressed that both institutions share a common responsibility to protect Nigeria’s security and economic stability, adding that information sharing and inter-agency cooperation should remain standard practice in achieving national objectives.
“We must collaborate to make the Federal Republic of Nigeria better. We need you to share information with us, and we are ready to work together through effective inter-agency cooperation and collaboration,” he added.
He further disclosed that the Commission operates state-of-the-art forensic laboratories that could provide additional support for the military’s investigative and intelligence activities whenever required.
In his response, Major General Babalola commended the EFCC for its professionalism and sustained efforts in combating corruption, economic crimes, and financial misconduct. He described collaboration among security institutions as indispensable to safeguarding the nation.
