The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC has denied raiding the residence of the immediate past
Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode.
The EFCC, in a statement said
since early hours of today, it had been inundated with calls that operatives of
the Commission raided the residence of the former governor of Lagos State,
Akinwunmi Ambode.
“We need to state for the records
that the EFCC did not raid Ambode’s house. It is instructive that his
administration, like other former governors is under investigation, since they
no longer constitutionally enjoy immunity against prosecution.
“The Commission hereby states
with high sense of responsibility that the operatives did not raid Ambode’s
residence.
“Whatever the Commission is
presently doing with regards to the investigation is in line with its mandate
and the rule of law.
“We wish to inform the social
media to be circumspect in the reportage of any news with regards to
investigation activities of the Commission,” the statement said.
The anti-graft agency said as a
tradition, the Commission did not carry out investigation on the pages of the
newspapers or through the media.
“Our operations are always covert
until at a time when we file charges in court.
Therefore, the attempt to cast
the Commission in a bad light is unacceptable as the EFCC will never engage in
illegal act. We remain committed to the war against corruption,” a statement on
its Facebook page said.
