The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has
denied reports that FCT Minister Nyesom Wike plans to invite the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and
Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to investigate the immediate past FCT
Minister, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, over certain irregularities in the award
of contracts and other such matters.
Reports of the alleged plan had circulated on social media
on Friday.
A statement issued by FCTA director, Anthony Ogunleye,
however, stated that the reports are entirely baseless and without any merit
whatsoever.
Ogunleye said although Wike, during his routine inspections
of various projects within the FCT, expressed concerns and frustrations
regarding irregularities observed in the procurement and execution of certain
projects, he didn’t contemplate or authorise any action against anyone.
He added that the reports making the round are designed to
mischievously sow discord and confusion.
He, therefore, urged the public and well-meaning Nigerians
to exercise caution when they encounter such unfounded reports.
