EFCC has spoken on the viral list of Former Governors being investigated for alleged fraud, debunking it.
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has dissociated itself from a phantom report circulating in sections of the media claiming it has released a full list of ex-governors being investigated for alleged corruption.
The report headlined: ” EFCC Releases Full List of 58 Ex- Ex-Governors that Embezzled N2 .187 Trillion”, in one of the news outlets, is false and mischievous as the Commission neither issued the said list nor entertained discussions on the investigation of ex-governors with any news medium.
According to a statement signed by Dele Oyewale, Head, Media & Publicity and made available to OpenLife, the anti-graft agency stated that the report “Invariably means that the so-called list is a disingenuous fabrication designed to achieve motives known only to the authors.”
The agency therefore cautioned the public saying “The public is enjoined to ignore the report as it is false and misleading.
“The media is advised to endeavour to crosscheck facts pertaining to matters under investigation with the Commission to avoid misleading the public with false and inaccurate reports.”
