EFCC Denies Political Persecution Claims by Bauchi Governor

The EFCC responded to Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed's accusations of political persecution, denying any bias and emphasizing its non-partisan approach in tackling corruption cases. The agency highlighted its recent arraignment of Bauchi State finance commissioner Yakubu Adamu and others on money laundering charges.

EFCC urged Governor Mohammed to focus on governance and allow due process to sanitize Nigeria's financial system. The statement also criticized the opposition's hypocrisy in alleging persecution while remaining silent on their own investigations.
