Finally, EFCC Reacts to ‘Raid’ on Ambode’s Residence in
Lagos
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has since
early hours of today, been inundated with calls that operatives of
the Commission raided the residence of the former governor of Lagos
State, Akinwunmi Ambode.
We need to state for the records that the EFCC did not raid
Ambode’s house. It is instructive that his administration, like
other former governors is under investigation, since they no longer
constitutionally enjoy immunity against prosecution.
The Commission hereby states with high sense of responsibility
that the operatives did not raid Ambode’s residence.
Whatever the Commission is presently doing with regards to the
investigation is in line with its mandate and the rule of law.
We wish to inform the social media to be circumspect in the
reportage of any news with regards to investigation activities of
the Commission.
As a tradition, the Commission does not carry out investigation
on the pages of the newspapers or through the media. Our operations
are always covert until at a time when we file charges in
court.
Therefore, the attempt to cast the Commission in a bad light is
unacceptable as the EFCC will never engage in illegal act. We
remain committed to the war against corruption.
