Finally, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has cleared the air on the rumoured raid of the Lagos residence of Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun.
The anti-grft agency make it clear in a statement on Wednesday that Amosun is not under any investigation that would have warranted a raid on his home.
The statement was issued by the agency’s spokesman, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, and made available to newsmen in Abuja.
He denied media reports that its agents stormed the basement of the Ikeja residence of the governor in Lagos.
Uwujaren also said the Commission has not been on the trail of the governor for two weeks before the purported raid, where cash in local and foreign currencies were reportedly recovered.
“It is important to state that there is no truth in the report. Governor Amosun was neither under surveillance nor was any of his residence raided by operatives of the EFCC.
“Consequently, members of the public are enjoined to disregard the false report,” he stated.
The report on the social media last week was that the EFCC raided the Ikeja GRA home of the governor, and recovered large sums of money stacked in local and foreign currencies.
