EFCC: We are Investigating Ambode

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Tuesday said it was investigating the administration of former Governor of Lagos State, Akinwumi Ambode.

“The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, 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”, the statement issued by its Spokesman, Tony Orilade, said.

While the commission insisted that it did not ‘raid’, Ambode’s residence, it however did not say in the statement whether its operatives were at the residence of the former governor or not on Tuesday morning.
