- The EFCC says there is no truth in the report that Magu's
rejection by the Senate has made it to delay submission of its
annual report to the legislature
- The commission said in a statement that it found the
allegations very shocking because it was not in anyway true
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has
lashed out at reports that it is withholding the submission of a
crucial report to the National Assembly because of the refusal of
the Senate to confirm its acting chairman Ibrahim Magu.
In a statement released on Monday, January 2 and signed by the
commission’s spokesperson Wilson Uwujaren, said the media
report was untrue and mischievous.
The statement read: “This claim is not only false but shocking....
Going through the report, it is pathetic that no attempts were
made to verify the status of the report from either the EFCC or
the relevant Committees of the National Assembly
“Pray, how did the non-confirmation of Mr. Magu on December
15, 2016 affect a report that was due for submission in
September?
“These views purportedly attributed to National Assembly
members are the invention of the authors of the story. No
lawmaker worth his salt will make such comments as EFCC
Annual Reports are not about individuals, but usually laden with
facts and figures regarding its activities in a given year
“For the avoidance of doubt, the EFCC has never defaulted in
submitting its annual reports to the National Assembly. The 2016
report was duly submitted and acknowledged by the relevant
Committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives.”
Meanwhile, EFCC has gathered fresh evidence against Esther
Oba , an alleged cousin of Dame Patience Jonathan, the wife of
former president, Goodluck Jonathan
Oba is being accused of being a front for some of Patience's
accounts.
EFCC recently commenced an investigation against Oba who was
identified as one of the owners of the N9 billion account believed
to actually belong to Mrs Jonathan.
