The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission ( EFCC) has said that it is only investigating ex-Governor Akinwumi Ambode.

It said it has not raided the residence of the ex-governor under any guise.

It said whatever it is presently doing with regards to the investigation is in line with its mandate and the rule of law.

The EFCC made the clarifications in a statement by its spokesman, Mr. Tony Orilade.

The statement said: “The EFCC has since early hours of today, been inundated with calls that operatives of the Commission raided the residence of the former governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode.

“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.

“We wish to inform the social media to be circumspect in the reportage of any news with regards to investigation activities of the Commission.

“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.”

However, in a video shared by Olúyẹmí Fásípè on Twitter, evidence shows that EFCC agents actually made the raid but were stopped by local Epe residents.
