The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has denied reports that it has raised teams to quiz some outgoing state governors for graft, describing a report on the issue as untrue.
The Commission in a statement by its acting spokesman, Tony Orilade, in Abuja on Sunday, said that the reporter who wrote the story did not give the composition and terms of reference of the purported teams reportedly set up to quiz the outgoing governors of Ogun, Imo, Zamfara and others whose tenure would end by May 29.
