He also noted that REDAN will flush out all fraudsters who are bent on defrauding unsuspecting members of the public in the next three months of his administration.

“It is on this note, that I want to sound a note of warning to erring practitioners who by their actions have shown that they have rejected the call of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission that all practitioners should be identified with REDAN, with a view to track illegal funds in a section of the sector to have a rethink.”
