The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC has declared that it has
not cleared former governor of Bauchi State
, Adamu Muazu of corruption charges.
The EFCC in a statement on Monday October
11, 2010 debunked reports that suggest that
the anti-graft agency had concluded
investigation on the corruption charges
against the former governor and found
nothing against him.
The anti-graft body said it has to issue the
clarification as a response toNpersistent
enquiries coming from members of the press
and the general public on its alleged
clearance given to Muazu.
“We wish to state emphatically that
ex-governor Adamu Muazu is still being
investigated and as such could not have been
cleared of graft allegations against him.
“The former governor who until recently has
been out of the country is still expected to
honour an invitation to interview a team of
operatives investigating the case against
him”, the statement added.
While urging the media to always cross check
their information through the open
communication channel provided by the
Commission, it further explained that none
of its officials has been mandated under any
guise to speak on a case that is yet to be
concluded.
