LIST OF EX-GOVS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR ALLEGED CORRUPTION NOT FROM EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has dissociated itself from recent reports of a purported list of ex-governors being investigated for alleged corruption.


Reports on Saturday emerged indicating that 58 former governors were under the radar of the anti-graft agency. They were accused of misappropriating N2.187 trillion over 25 years.


In a statement issued on Sunday, the EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale, described the report as false and mischievous as the Commission neither issued the said list nor entertained discussions on investigation of ex-governors with any news medium.


He noted that the "so-called list is a disingenuous fabrication designed to achieve motives known only to the authors."



The full statement read:

"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."


"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."
