The EFCC Head, Media & Publicity, Dele Oyewale, made this known in a statement issued via the Commission’s X handle (formerly known as Twitter) on Tuesday, December 3, 2024.
The anti-graft agency said Sowore’s denigration of the agency’s effort is unacceptable and grossly un-charitable.
“The expectation of the EFCC from citizen Sowore is a patriotic appreciation of its efforts in securing such a landmark forfeiture. It is shocking that the activist is not concerned about the systemic lassitude and unhelpful permissiveness that allowed such a monstrous corrupt act in the first instance.”
It added that:
“It is important to note that the substantive criminal investigation on the matter still continues. It will be unprofessional of the EFCC to go to town by mentioning names of individuals whose identities were not directly linked to any title document of the properties.”
