The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has refuted claims circulating in various media outlets regarding the release of a purported list of ex-governors under investigation for corruption.<\/p>\n
The statement, issued by Dele Oyewale, the Head of Media & Publicity for the EFCC, in a press release today 5th May, 2024 categorically denies the existence of such a list and asserts that the Commission has not provided any information to the media regarding investigations into ex-governors.<\/p>\n
The purported report, titled “EFCC Releases Full List of 58 Ex-Governors that Embezzled N2.187 Trillion,” is labeled as false and misleading by the EFCC. Oyewale emphasizes that the Commission did not issue such a list nor engage in discussions with any media outlet regarding investigations into ex-governors.<\/p>\n
The EFCC condemns the dissemination of what it terms as a “disingenuous fabrication” and suggests that the motives behind the creation of the alleged list are known only to its authors.<\/p>\n
The public is urged to disregard the purported list as false and misleading. Furthermore, the media is advised to verify information related to ongoing investigations with the EFCC directly to prevent the spread of inaccurate reports.<\/p>\n
This statement comes amidst heightened public interest in cases of corruption and underscores the EFCC’s commitment to transparency and accuracy in its operations.<\/p>\n
As the matter unfolds, the EFCC remains steadfast in its pursuit of justice and accountability, ensuring that due process is followed in all investigations and prosecutions related to corruption allegations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
