The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) has denied the list of the 58 Ex-governors under probe being circulated by some sections of media (not Nigerian Tribune).
Its Head, Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale dissociated the Agency from what it described as a phantom report.
It stated, ‘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”.
