EFCC Denies Issuing List Of Ex- Govs Under Investigation

Please share

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,  EFCC, has said it did not release any list containing names of former Governors under investigation.

The Commission has therefore dissociated itself from what it described as 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- 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 investigation of ex-governors with any news medium, EFCC said.

 

This it noted 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 endeavour to crosscheck facts pertaining to matters under investigation with the Commission to avoid misleading the public with false and inaccurate reports.” it said.
