EFCC debunks list of ex-governors under investigation for corruption

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has distanced itself from a full list of former governors being investigated for alleged corruption.

Some of the former governors on the list include Samuel Ortom (Benue State), Udom Emmanuel (Akwa Ibom State), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia State), and Bala Mohammed (Bauchi State).

Also on the list are Ifeanyi Okowa (Delta State), current Minister of Work Dave Umahi (Ebonyi), Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna State), Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano State) and the current FCT minister Nyesom Wike (Rivers State).

The EFCC, in a statement, on Sunday said the report that contained 58 ex-governors who allegedly embezzled N2 .187 trillion was false.

The Commission denied issuing the said list nor entertained discussions on the investigation of former governors with any news medium.
