By Nuel Suji – The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has denied freezing the bank account of Ademola Adeleke, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Osun.
The anti-graft agency also said it did not place a freeze order on the accounts of members of his family, including popular musician, Davido.
EFCC’ s spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren,, in a statement on Sunday, said the allegation is false.
“The commission calls on members the public to disregard the report, which is patently false and contrived to dress the agency with a partisan garb in the unfolding political contest in Osun State,” NAN quoted him as saying.
“For the avoidance of doubt, at no time did the EFCC place a freeze order on any account belonging to members of the Adeleke family.
“The EFCC frowns at the seeming attempts by faceless forces to drag it into the political fray.”
