The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has denied releasing to the public a list of about 58 former governors purportedly being investigated for corruption by the agency.
A statement issued by the Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, says: “feels obliged to dissociate 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- 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.
“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. READ ALSO:
