EFCC Denies Political Persecution by Bauchi Governor Amid Money Laundering Charges

The EFCC denies allegations of political persecution by Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, criticizing his claims as unfounded and misleading. The anti-graft agency asserts its independence and non-partisanship in combating financial crimes.

Governor Mohammed, already facing money laundering charges, is accused of attempting to evade trial by invoking immunity. The EFCC emphasizes that investigations are based on evidence, not vendettas, and condemns the governor's accusations against Minister Nyesom Wike.
