Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), yesterday, urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to probe All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, for alleged misuse of party finances to the tune of billions of naira barely six months he assumed office.

Its National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, in a statement, said the protest by unpaid workers at the party’s secretariat necessitated Adamu’s probe for alleged larceny and corruption.

He said: “HURIWA calls on EFCC to investigate allegations of fraud running into billions, including payments of four-year upfront allowance, by the APC.

“If the APC’s hierarchy actually sat and awarded themselves juicy financial allowances for the next four years, why should that be tolerated?”
