The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has described the claim by Zamfara State Governor, Bello Muhammed Matawalle, that its Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa was after him for refusing to give him $2m bribe, as a hoax.
The Spokesman for the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, said in a late-night statement made available to Vanguard that the outgoing Zamfara governor invented the story in order to blackmail Bawa and the commission but that the agency would not dignify such spurious allegation with a response and challenged the governor to go ahead and present whatever evidence he has against the EFCC Chairman to prove his claim.
