The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has denied report that the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, is under investigation for alleged corruption.
The EFCC in a statement on Wednesday afternoon, said that though, there were petitions filed against Mr. Onnoghen at the time he was under consideration for his current position, the agency found no valid claim in the allegations, and as such, he was not under investigation.
The statement reads:
“The Commission wishes to state categorically that it is currently not investigating Justices Onnoghen and Kafarati”, stated Wilson Uwujaren, the Spokesperson for the EFCC.
“While Onnoghen was being considered for his present position, the Commission received some petitions which were investigated and found to be without merit and discarded.”
“It is important to state that this report did not emanate from the EFCC, and the allusion to ‘an EFCC source’ is diversionary and mischievous.
“It is important to state that this report did not emanate from the EFCC, and the allusion to ‘an EFCC source’ is diversionary and mischievous.
“For the avoidance of doubt, cases under investigation communicated to the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation by the Commission, are classified information and it is troubling how such would be leaked to the media.
“Indeed, much damage has been done to the Commission’s investigation activities by this leak, especially as some of the cases mentioned are still at preliminary stages of investigation.”
