The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has set up a disciplinary panel to investigate two officers accused of assaulting a woman during a raid on Regional Hotel in Lagos.

EFCC spokesman Dele Oyewale made this known via a statement on Sunday, June 30, 2024.

Oyewale added that the errant officers would appear before the panel on Monday, July 1.
