The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has debunk reports that the acting Chairman of the agency Abdulrasheed Bawa has no criminal records.
The EFCC in a statement on Tuesday said that the disposal of finally forfeited trucks in the Port Harcourt Zonal Office through public auction, was conducted after the exit of Bawa as Zonal Head.
It also declared that the auction of trucks engendered the suspension of some officers of the Commission as examined by the Justice Ayo Salami Panel.

For the avoidance of doubt, disposal of finally forfeited trucks in the Port Harcourt Zonal Office through public auction, was conducted after the exit of Bawa as Zonal Head. It is therefore illogical for him to have been indicted over an auction that was not superintended by him.

The auction of trucks at the Port Harcourt Office was among the issues examined by the Justice Ayo Salami Panel, leading to the suspension of some officers of the Commission.
The Commission therefore enjoins the public to disregard the false publication which is believed to be sponsored by mischief makers to impugn the integrity of the EFCC Chairman-designate.
