The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been petitioned by the Nigerian Youth Movement of Switzerland in a letter demanding a probe into the alleged corrupt practices by officials of the Nigerian Embassy in Bern.
According to The Guardian, the group in a petition signed by its youth leader, Irydaer Omobude, also petitioned the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and the ministry of foreign affairs.
The group has called on the federal government to recall the ambassador, Baba Madugu and Mrs. Kemi Amuda back to Nigeria with immediate effect.
The youth movement went on to accuse the ambassador of using swiss police to intimidate Nigerians on appointment from coming to the embassy. It said it notified the Nigerian Embassy officials in Bern of their actions in a letter dated January 24, 2020.
