WE DID NOT RAID AMBODE’S HOME, BUT CARRYING OUT CONSTITUTIONAL INVESTIGATION, SAYS CRIMES COMMISSION

The Spokesman of the anti-graft agency pointed out that since early hours of Tuesday; the commission had been inundated with calls that its operatives raided the residence of the former Governor, stating that this was untrue.

‘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’.

Penpushing further reports that, the commission said there was need to inform the Social Media to be circumspect in the reportage of any news with regards to investigation activities of the Commission, explaining that, as tradition, the agency will not carry out investigation on pages of newspapers.

‘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’,Orilade emphasied.
