The EFCC don keep am well-well, as dem dey think say dem fit extend him stay for their custody to make sure say him fit answer dem questions wey plenty pass syllabus. One EFCC official wey no wan show face yarn say e no go fit waka for free yet. Na so him go dey chop night for EFCC as dem wan check him account and his eight years story as governor.
