EFCC denies releasing list of 58 ex governors under investigation for corruption

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has denied releasing a list containing 58 former governors who are currently being investigated over an alleged N2 .187 Trillion embezzlement.

In a press statement on Sunday, the anti-graft agency said it never issued the said list nor entertained discussions on investigation of ex-governors with any news medium.

The statement read in part:

“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”.
