The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, said that the Commission had no accountant named Jafaru Mohammed, who was in charge of N13bn NIA loot contrary to an online news report.
In a statement signed by its Head of Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, the Commission said the allegation was false and aimed at misleading the public.
Uwujaren stated: ”The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to a report by an online news medium,
Peoples Gazette, alleging that a certain Jafaru Mohammed whom it claimed stole N10.9billion from the NIA Ikoyi loot is an accountant of the EFCC.
“The claim is false and intended to mislead the public. For the avoidance of doubt, the EFCC has no accountant by name, Jafaru Mohammed and could not have appointed him to serve in another agency.
“It is infantile to suggest that the Commission would appoint an accountant for the National Intelligence Agency, NIA, which is not a department
of the EFCC.”
The Commission enjoined the public to discountenance the report which was dripping with mischief for which Peoples Gazette had become notorious.
