The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, has reacted to ‘plan’ to probe Governors Ibikunle Amosun
(Ogun), Rochas Okorocha (Imo) and AbdulAziz Yari (Zamfara), once their immunity
ends.
Tony Orilade, EFCC Head, Media
and Publicity, in a statement Sunday night, said the claim was a figment of the
imagination of the reporter.
Orilade noted that everything
mentioned about the setting up of the
teams to probe the governors was false.
He said: “Again, the story is not
true, as the EFCC does not go after anybody, including ex-governors on
speculative ground.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the
Commission only act after the investigators have done a thorough job on any
individual or firm involved in corruption related cases.
“The Commission wants to advise
our stakeholders, including our friends in the media to be circumspect and
verify their stories before going to press.
“Members of the public are
therefore advise to disregard the story as no team has been set up against any
former governor.”
