Senator Andrew Uchi, a personal assistant to the Federal Secretary of the Government (SGF), is currently investigating the billions of Naira allegations of corruption, bribery and money laundering in the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).

Sources further revealed that UCHI has been detained by the EFCC since Monday, March 10, 2025, with the petition claiming that he has acquired property worth over N6 billion in Abuja, Jos (Plateau State) and Makurdi, Gboko, Gboko and Benue State and Naira of Makurdi and Makurdi and Benue State Talka Regional Government Areas.
The report also shows that two change operators are under investigation in connection with the so-called money laundering program. Most of the funds traced back to UCHI were reportedly conducted through transactions at these companies.
