The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has refuted claims circulating in certain media outlets regarding the purported release of a comprehensive list of former governors under investigation for alleged corruption.
In a statement issued by the EFCC, the commission firmly stated that it has not issued any such list nor engaged in discussions regarding investigations into former governors with any media platform. The report, titled “EFCC Releases Full List of 58 Ex-Governors that Embezzled N2.187 Trillion,” has been deemed false and misleading.
The EFCC emphasized that the dissemination of this purported list is a baseless fabrication with motives unbeknownst to the commission. It urged the public to disregard the report entirely due to its falsity and deceptive nature.
Furthermore, the EFCC has advised media outlets to exercise diligence in verifying information related to ongoing investigations with the commission directly. This precaution aims to prevent the propagation of false and inaccurate reports that could mislead the public.
The EFCC’s stance underscores its commitment to upholding transparency and integrity in its operations while cautioning against the dissemination of unverified information that may tarnish its reputation.
