A former Lagos State Commissioner of Police, AIG Hakeem Odumosu, Wednesday, debunked news circulating online that he has been appointed as chairman of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).
On Tuesday night, reports emerged that President Bola Tinubu had approved the appointment of Odumosu as the substantive Chairman of EFCC.
In reaction to the development, Odumosu, who retired as an Assistant Inspector-General of Police, said he was not aware of such an appointment.
The former police chief described the circulation of the fake appointment as an unnecessary distraction by mischief makers.
He wrote;
“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.”
President Tinubu had suspended the Chairman of the EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa.
