The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has distanced itself from a purported list of ex-governors under investigation for alleged corruption in circulation.On Saturday, several reports emerged in the media that 58 former governors were under the radar of the anti-graft agency. They were accused of misappropriating N2.187 trillion over 25 years.
“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.”It also urged media practitioners to crosscheck facts about matters under investigation with the Commission to avoid misleading the public with false and inaccurate reports.
He said, “A sitting governor, because he knew he was leaving office, moved money directly from the government to Bureau de Change used it to pay his child’s school fee in advance.
