The former Aide on New Media to former President, Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has criticised the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for detaining  the wife of former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode on Monday.

He stated that it was an unprofessional act  for EFCC  to reveal the secret number attached to Fani-Kayode’s bank accounts.

He added that EFCC’s decision to publicly reveal Fani-Kayode’s Bank Verification Number, BVN, is not right.

“Just thinking out loud, but should the EFCC publish anyone’s BVN even if the person is an alleged suspect? Looks like an overkill!," he posted on his twitter.

The EFCC said in a statement by its spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren explained why the account had come under scrutiny, and in the process, revealed the BVN.

According to the EFCC’s statement, “The said account, which had a balance of N 2,307,712.82 was flagged following investigation into the PDP Joint Trust fund when the Commission traced N1.1 billion to the Zenith Bank account of Fani-Kayode.

“It was discovered that the account had two biometric identification numbers, one for Fani-Kayode and the other (with BVN 2205597283) for Sonia Chikwendu.

“The same BVN is linked to 2 other accounts in Diamond bank and 15 accounts in Guaranty Trust Bank.”
