The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Sunday denied claims
that it has frozen the accounts of musician, David Adeleke, aka
Davido and that of his uncle, Ademola Adeleke, alias ‘dancing
senator’.
In
a statement signed by its spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, the commission
said there was no truth whatsoever in the claims being perpetrated
by The Peoples Democratic Party and some politically motivated
elements out to spurn the image of the anti- graft agency.
EFCC
said: “The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC has been drawn to media publications alleging that
it had frozen the account of Senator Ademola Adeleke, candidate of
the opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in the September 22,
2018 Osun State governorship election and those of his family
members, including the musician, David Adeleke. “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. “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
purported freeze order which has unfortunately been amplified by
pliable sections of the media without any attempt at confirmation, is
alien to the Commission and another example of fake news. “The EFCC
frowns at the seeming attempts by faceless forces to drag it into the
political fray and, for the umpteenth time, restates its neutrality
as a law enforcement organization that is sworn to uphold the law at
all times, irrespective whose interest is at stake,” the statement
said.
