Retired Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG), Hakeem Odumosu has denied reports that he was appointed as a substantive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Recall that there were media reports on Tuesday that Odumosu’s appointment is subject to confirmation by the Senate.
However, Odumosu, in a statement on Wednesday, stated that the report is untrue and should be disregarded.
”Good Morning, everyone, I have been inundated with so many calls and messages between yesterday and today on a purported “EFCC Appointment”. I just want to use this opportunity to debunk this information and say it’s totally untrue.
“This information must have emanated from mischief makers and should be totally disregarded,” he said.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu suspended the former chairman of the anti-corruption agency for alleged misconduct while in office.
Bawa was subsequently invited by the Department of State Services (DSS) for questioning.
