The foremost anti-graft agency the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has debunked social media report that it’s operatives raided the home of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, standard-bearer of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
News about the purported raid went viral on social media on Sunday creating a false alarm as if the presidential candidate was hoarding new Naira notes.
Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, Head, Media & Publicity said in a terse statement that the report was not true.
“The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to a report circulating in the social media, claiming that operatives of the Commission raided the home of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, standard-bearer of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the forthcoming presidential elections and recovered a humongous sum of N400billion.”
“The Commission wishes to state that no such operation was carried out by the EFCC. The public is enjoined to disregard the report as fake news.”
