The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, yesterday, made spirited efforts to clear its name of allegation that it was under pressure to free a crude oil theft suspect because of the personalities named by him.
An online medium, had alleged on Thursday that a People’s Democratic Party governorship candidate, Jarret Tenebe, who was arrested for oil theft had implicated top government officials, among them, a former Chief of Staff to President Jonathan and a serving female minister.
But the commission in a statement in Abuja yesterday, denied that it was being teleguided by any group or individual to shield the suspect from investigation and prosecution.
The Head of Media and Public Affairs of the commission, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, admitted that though the suspect was under investigation for oil theft, there was no evidence that he was being promoted by the top officials named by the online medium.
The commission said, “The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to a report entitled, Crude Oil Theft: PDP Governorship Candidate Jarret Tenebe Arrested, Implicates Jonathan’s former Chief of Staff, Anenih and Petroleum Minister, which appeared on Saharareporters, an online news service, on Thursday, September 11, 2014.
