The Special Forces Command (SFC) publicly distanced itself from former intelligence officer Yonasan Tibenderana after his arrest on fraud charges linked to the National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA). In a statement released on Thursday, the SFC emphasized that Tibenderana’s alleged actions were personal and do not reflect the values or conduct expected of SFC personnel. The arrest has sparked calls for a broader review of security‑agency oversight and anti‑corruption measures within government institutions.
