Alleged list of ex-governors under investigation fake – EFCC
EFCC Officials
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), says it has not released a list purportedly of ex-governors under investigation over alleged corruption
Its spokesman, Dele Oyewale, made the clarification in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.
According to him, the commission feels obliged to dissociate itself from a phantom report in circulation claiming it has released a full list of ex-governors being investigated for alleged corruption.
“The report, which claimed that EFCC released a list of 58 ex-governors that embezzled a total of N2.187 trillion is false and mischievous as EFCC neither issued the said list nor entertained discussions on investigation of ex-governors.
”This invariably means that the so-called list is a disingenuous fabrication designed to achieve motives known only to the authors.
”The public is enjoined to ignore the report as it is false and misleading.
”The media is advised to endeavor to crosscheck facts about matters under investigation with the Commission to avoid misleading the public with false and inaccurate reports,” he said.
