The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has denied the report that it released a list of ex-governors being investigated for alleged corruption.
In a statement by Dele Oyewale, EFCC’s head of media and publicity, the agency described the report as “false and mischievous”.
Citing a report titled “EFCC Releases Full List of 58 Ex- Governors that Embezzled N2.187 Trillion”, the anti-graft agency said 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 statement reads.

“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.”
