The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has denied releasing a circulating list of 58 ex-governors, under investigation for corruption, to the tune of N2.18 trillion.
EFCC, through a statement signed and released by its Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale said the report captioned, “EFCC Releases Full List of 58 Ex-Governors that Embezzled N2 .187 Trillion,” is false and mischievous.
In the statement released on Sunday, Oyewale urged the media to cross-check facts pertaining to matters under investigation with the Commission to avoid falling into the trap of mischievous people.

The statement read, “The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, feels obliged to dissociate itself from a phantom report circulating in sections of the media claiming it has released a full list of ex-governors being investigated for alleged corruption.
“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.”
