We Didn’t Arraign Atiku – EFCC
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), says it did not arraigned former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for alleged fraud of N75.3billion as was reported in some online media (not BIGPEN).
The commission, said a statement credited to the spokesman of the anti-graft agency alleging arraignment of the former vice president did not emanates from them.
The statement reads, “The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to an online report which claimed that the Commission on Thursday, January 9, 2020 arraigned former Vice President Atiku Abubakar before Justice Mojisola Dada of the Special Offences Court, Ikeja, Lagos for an alleged fraud of N75.3biilion and wishes to state categorically that nothing of such took place.
“The Commission also wishes to state that no statement or press release emanated from the spokesperson of the Commission, Mr Wilson Uwujaren to that effect as claimed in the report, nor was there any involvement of any sort from the Commission’s prosecutor, Joy Amahian in the imaginary arraignment. It remains imagination of the author of the fake news.
“The Commission, therefore, urges the general public to disregard the fake news as handiwork of mischief makers”.
