The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has dissociated itself from the phantom report currently published by some media outlets on the purported released full list of ex-governors being investigated over alleged corruption by the commission.
The report carried in some news outlets according to the commission with headline: “EFCC Releases Full List of 58 Ex-Governors that Embezzled N2.187 Trillion”, is completely false and mischievous.
A statement signed by Dele Oyewale Head, Media & Publicity and made available to New Nigerian Newspapers, reads, “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 commission therefire, enjoined the general public to ignore the report as it is false and misleading with evil motive.
Oyewale advised media outlets and practitioners to crosscheck facts pertaining to matters under investigation with the Commission to avoid misleading the public with false reports.
