Okechukwu Nnodim, AbujaThe Board of the National Emergency Management Agency on Thursday announced the indefinite suspension of six directors of the organisation. The suspension of the affected officials by the newly inaugurated board was in connection with the ongoing probe of the finances of NEMA by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Based on the EFCC’s recommendation, the board of NEMA approved the suspension and directed the management to give effect to its decision. The board also mandated the management of NEMA to cooperate with the EFCC in the ongoing probe. The EFCC had in January launched a fresh investigation into a former Director General of NEMA and other serving directors of the agency.
