The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has denied reports that FCT Minister Nyesom Wike plans to invite the Economic and Financial Crimes

Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission to investigate the immediate past FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, over certain irregularities in the award of contracts and other such matters.A statement issued by FCTA director, Anthony Ogunleye, however, stated that the reports are entirely baseless and without any merit whatsoever.

Ogunleye said although Wike, during his routine inspections of various projects within the FCT, expressed concerns and frustrations regarding irregularities observed in the procurement and execution of certain projects, he didn’t contemplate or authorise any action against anyone.He, therefore, urged the public and well-meaning Nigerians to exercise caution when they encounter such unfounded reports.
