The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, on Thursday reacted to an audio of its Chairman, Ibrahim Magu
claiming that nothing will happen if the immediate past Governor of Ekiti
State, Ayodele Fayose dies in its custody.
EFCC urged members of the public
to disregard the audio, describing it as false.
Recall that Fayose has been in
custody of the anti-graft agency since he turned himself in on Tuesday.
But in a series of tweets via his
official Twitter handle, the anti-graft agency described the audio as the
handiwork of mischief makers.
The tweets read, “#Alert The EFCC
alerts the public of an audio recording currently circulating in the social
media in which Acting EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, purportedly made comments to
effect that nothing will happen peradventure Ayo Fayose, ex-Ekiti governor dies
in custody.
“Interestingly, the audio tape
did not disclose the place where the conversation occurred and the person that
Magu was supposedly talking to.
“Members of the public are
advised to disregard this disingenuous creation an handiwork of mischief makers
intent on distracting the EFCC from the serious work of wrapping up the
investigation into the corruption allegations against Fayose.
“#Alert The audio recording is
fake as the comments did not emanate from the Chairman of the EFCC.
Purveyors of this fake news
especially a former spokesperson of a leading political party are warned to
desist. #Fayose.”
