The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has urged the general public to disregard report circulating(Not on 9news Nigeria) that the commission arrested former Vice-president of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar.
The commission in a statement made available to 9News Nigeria said its attention has been drawn to an online report which claimed that the Commission on Thursday, January 9, 2020 arraigned former Vice President Atiku Abubakar before Justice Mojisola Dada of the Special Offences Court, Ikeja, Lagos for an alleged fraud of N75.3biilion and wishes to state categorically that nothing of such took place.
The Commission also wishes to state that no statement or press release emanated from the spokesperson of the Commission, Mr Wilson Uwujaren to that effect as claimed in the report, nor was there any involvement of any sort from the Commission’s prosecutor, Joy Amahian in the imaginary arraignment. It remains imagination of the author of the fake news.
The Commission, therefore, urges the general public to disregard the fake news as handiwork of mischief makers.
