Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Thursday disowned an audio recording of a conversation currently circulating in the social media in which the Acting Chairman of the Commission, Ibrahim Magu, purportedly made comments to the effect that, nothing will happen peradventure Ayo Fayose, former governor of Ekiti State, 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 as it is the handiwork of mischief makers intent on distracting the Commission from the serious work of wrapping up the investigation into the corruption allegations against the former governor of Ekiti state.
"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," said EFCC, in a statement by its Head of Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren.
Meanwhile, Fayose, through his media aide, Idowu Adelusi, has told EFCC to charge him to court as he has no statement to write or anything to tell the commission.
