The matter is in court. We tried to see what we could do with the matter. We tried to see how they could open their case but they were dilly-dallying.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey brought different witnesses who were cross-examined. After they tried to close their case they brought two witnesses again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter we thought they were going to close their case they brought in other witnesses just to stall the case because they believe that since the matter is in court we can not take further steps to investigate them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The reason for their action is to shield the people that stole Akwa Ibom state funds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not our money. it is Akwa Ibom state money. So whatever happens we are not going to return the money to the federal government but to Akwa Ibom state to be used for the people but now they are stopping it.\u201d Ndifon said.<\/p>\n<p>Emphasizing their commitment to tackling corruption among politicians in the state, Ndifon stated that the EFCC will not rest in their efforts to investigate the state&#8217;s accounts
