EFCC distances self from “Saraki script” to sabotage FG

The EFCC has distanced itself from any attempt to sabotage the Federal Government in what it called “Saraki Script”.

The anti-graft commission said in a statement Sunday that the Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, in a widely syndicated article entitled, “Fifth Columnists in Our Recent History”, falsely portrayed the Commission “as a conscript in the devious plots by Senator Bukola Saraki to undermine the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.”

Ojudu is quoted as saying: “From the shenanigans at the Benue House of Assembly, to the siege on National Assembly, the attack on judges home in the night, the so called barricade of the Senate President’s house, the laughable kidnap of Boy Dino and “his eleven hours on a tree’, the freezing of Benue and Akwa Ibom accounts all are scripted, produced and acted by Oloye Productions.”

The EFCC, however, said that placement of a ‘Post No Debit Order’ on some accounts in Benue and Akwa Ibom States were the culmination of many months of painstaking investigation activities.

“To reduce such activities to the level of a stunt in a real or imaginary script by any politician is outrageous,” it said.

“It is important to state that the EFCC is NOT a party to the so called script by Saraki. Members of the public should disregard the innuendo in Ojudu’s article as it is unfounded.

“The Commission calls for circumspection on the part of political leaders, while urging them to seek clarification before making comments on matters they do not know about.”
