The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC have reacted to the N70b Fraud.
EFCC had declared Ex-Zamfara Gov, Matawalle wanted, which appeared in one of the daily newspaper 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”.
