The Financial and Monetary Crimes Fee, EFCC, has disassociated itself from a listing of former governors being investigated for corruption.
EFCC mentioned the report captioned: “EFCC Releases Full Listing of 58 Ex- Governors that Embezzled N2 .187 Trillion,” is fake and mischievous.
The Head of Media and Publicity of the anti-graft company, Dele Oyewale described the checklist as a disingenuous fabrication.
An announcement by Oyewale mentioned “EFCC feels obliged to dissociate itself from a phantom report circulating in sections of the media claiming it has launched a full checklist of ex- governors being investigated for alleged corruption.
“The report headlined: ” EFCC Releases Full Listing of 58 Ex- Governors that Embezzled N2.187 Trillion,” in one of many information retailers, is fake and mischievous because the Fee neither issued the mentioned checklist nor entertained discussions on investigation of ex-governors with any information medium.
“This invariably implies that the so-called checklist is a disingenuous fabrication designed to attain motives identified solely to the authors.
“The general public is enjoined to disregard the report as it’s false and deceptive.
The media is suggested to endeavour to crosscheck info pertaining to issues below investigation with the Fee to keep away from deceptive the general public with false and inaccurate stories.”
