In a heartfelt ceremony filled with tributes and well-wishes, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibadan Zonal Directorate celebrated the retirement of its Head of Administration, Commander of EFCC (CE) Abimbola Oyekemi Kayode Afe, who clocked the mandatory retirement age of 60 on Friday, February 6, 2026. The event, held at the premises of the Ibadan Zonal Directorate, brought together staff members, family, friends, and well-wishers to honor her decades of dedicated service to the anti-corruption agency.

CE Afe’s retirement marks the end of a distinguished career in public service, where she played a pivotal role in administrative operations within the EFCC’s Ibadan zone. Known for her commitment to discipline, professionalism, and efficiency, she leaves behind a legacy that has strengthened the Commission’s fight against economic and financial crimes in the region. Sources close to the EFCC describe her as a pillar of integrity, whose leadership inspired many in the zonal office.

During the ceremony, speakers highlighted her contributions to streamlining administrative processes and supporting investigations into corruption cases. One attendee noted on social media that the event was a “fitting tribute to a woman who served Nigeria with honor.” Family members expressed pride in her achievements, while colleagues shared anecdotes of her mentorship and unwavering dedication.

The EFCC, established in 2003 to combat economic crimes, has zonal directorates across Nigeria, with Ibadan covering Oyo, Osun, Ogun, Ondo, and Ekiti states. CE Afe’s tenure in Ibadan has been instrumental in maintaining the zone’s operational excellence amid Nigeria’s ongoing battle against corruption.

As she steps into retirement, well-wishers have poured in messages of congratulations, with many hoping she enjoys a peaceful post-service life. The Commission is expected to announce her successor soon to ensure continuity in the zonal administration.
