The Economic Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) has refuted claims that it published a list of former governors currently under investigation for N2.187 trillion alleged corruption by the anti-corruption agency.
In a statement on Sunday by the spokesperson the commission, Deye Oyewole, EFCC said the list did not emanate from them, adding that the report is both false and misleading.
A report headlined: “EFCC Releases Full List of 58 Ex-Governors that Embezzled N2.187 trillion”, in one of the news outlets (not Nairametrics) was purportedly issued by EFCC on Saturday.
According to reports, the 58 former governors – drawn from the six regions of the country – were allegedly being probed, while others have been investigated, and prosecuted.
Oyewole stated that the “so-called” list is a deceptive creation intended to serve purposes only known to its creators.
