EFCC debunks list of ex-governors under investigation for alleged corruption

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has dissociated itself from a report circulating in the media claiming it released a full list of ex-governors being investigated for alleged corruption.

According to a release signed by EFCC’s head of media and publicity, Dele Oyewale, 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.

Oyewale said 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.

“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,” Oyewale stated.
