While in the Director’s office, Adamu said, “I came to repent of my sins and to confess to the EFCC.
In the past, I have obtained the sum of N9 million through my bank account from different individuals under the guise of offering them employment opportunities in federal government agencies, which was false. I have changed, but I am afraid of the EFCC.”
