The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has honored the memory of a fallen hero, Assistant Superintendent of the EFCC, ASE II Aminu Harisu Sahabi, with a Posthumous Award of Bravery. This prestigious recognition was conferred by the Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede.

The EFCC Chairman revealed this when he paid a condolence visit to the family of the late officer in Gawon Nama area of Sokoto metropolis, Sokoto State, on Friday, February 7, 2025.

Sahabi was brutally murdered in Awka, Anambra State on January 17, 2025, while carrying out an official operation to arrest suspected cybercrime perpetrators.

Accompanied by the Director,  Finance and Accounts of the Commission, Commander of the EFCC, CE Ahmed Pate, Ag. Director Sokoto Zonal Directorate, DCE Nwanneka Nwokike and management staff of the EFCC Sokoto zonal Directorate, Olukoyede  consoled the bereaved family assuring that the Commission shares in their pains.

“As a Commission, we share in the pains and grief of the loss, but we cannot question the time that the Lord calls us home. The late Aminu was a gallant officer full of promise and in the services of his fatherland when he met with the tragic incident. Indeed, Allah gives and Allah takes”. 

He further said “I am personally here to assure you that his sacrifice will never be forgotten nor will those accused of the heinous act of his murder be allowed to go free. They must and they will face the full wrath of the law”.

“There is nothing on earth that can replace the loss of a loved one but let us be consoled that Allah’s timing cannot be questioned and continue to pray for the repose of his soul”, he added. 

The EFCC boss then conferred a Posthumous Award for Bravery to the late officer and a Condolence Letter on behalf of the EFCC and the Federal Government of Nigeria to the family. 

The award serves as a testament to Aminu Harisu Sahabi’s exceptional courage and dedication to the fight against economic and financial crimes in Nigeria. His ultimate sacrifice will not be forgotten, and this honor ensures that his legacy continues to inspire others to follow in his footsteps.

Continuing, the EFCC’s boss stressed that, “going forward, I want to assure you that the family will not be forgotten as I will make out time to visit intermittently because for us in the EFCC, we are a family. We have finished processing the benefits of the late officer and will be released to the next-of-kin immediately”.

Responding on behalf of the late officer’s family, Justice Mohammed Lawal Shuaibu JCA, thanked the Executive Chairman and his team for the visit. He commended the Commission for its intervention in conveying the late officer’s corpse home for burial.

His words “I was literally on the phone with the Chairman consecutively after the incident and we also saw the delegation of the EFCC during the burial of our son led by the Secretary to the Commission”.

He added “As a family, we also express our gratitude  to the family for naming of a building at the EFCC Academy, Abuja after our son to immortalise his sacrifice”.

Earlier upon arrival at the EFCC’s  Sokoto Zonal Direcgtorate, the Olukoyede inspected a guard of honour and held meetings with officers of the Commission.
