BREAKING: We Did Not Declare Matawalle Wanted -EFCC

AMILOADED MEDIA HUB NEWS UPDATE

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has affirmed that the commission did not declare former Zamfara Governor, Matawalle ‘Wanted’ as reported by some media outlets, AMILOADED reports.

This was contained in a release posted on the official social media page of the commission, on Sunday, sighted by AMILOADED Correspondent.

The release reads; “The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to a report, entitled, Alleged N70b Fraud: EFCC Declares Ex-Zamfara Gov, Matawalle Wanted, which appeared in the Sunday Tribune of June 18, 2023 and purports that the Commission had declared a former Zamafara State governor, Bello Matawalle wanted and requested the Department of State Service, DSS, to arrest him, “anywhere he is seen”.

“Without prejudice to the case involving the former governor, the report is incorrect as the Commission has yet to declare Matawalle wanted or solicit the assistance of any Agency, including the DSS, to effect his arrest.

“The Commission has standard procedure for declaring persons wanted and communicating same to the public, not through faceless “security sources”.
