Akpabio had said that he was a
man of peace that had no case to answer with the EFCC, adding that the young
man who wrote petition against him to the commission could not prove his case
“Those petitions to the EFCC have
been sorted out. As I stand today, I have not been charged to court because
nothing was found against me,” Akpabio said.
However, the spokesman for the
EFCC, Mr Wilson Uwujaren, while responding to Akpabio’s claim, said his case
was still ongoing.
When asked by Punch if Akpabio
was still under probe, the EFCC spokesman said, “EFCC does not close cases or
give clearance to anybody.”
In 2015, Akpabio was accused of
diverting over N100bn from the oil-rich state between 2007 and 2015, an
allegation which he has denied.
