The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has said that the list which showed those under investigation by the commission doesn’t emanate from them.
Earlier, there was a list that contains the names of ex-governors and the amount they allegedly embezzled by them being circulated on social media platforms claiming to have emanated from the EFCC.
However, in a press statement by the commission, the EFCC said the list was not from them.
The statement read, “EFCC PRESS STATEMENT: List of Ex-Govs Under Investigation for Alleged Corruption Not From EFCC The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, 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”
The commission in the statement described the list as a disingenuous fabrication designed to achieve motives known only to the authors and urged the general public to ignore it because it is false.
