The news spreading like wild harmattan fire that former Lagos State governor, Akinwunmi Ambode’s house has been raided by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been denied by the agency.

The commission through its official Facebook page stated that;

“The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has since early hours of today, been inundated with calls that operatives of the Commission raided the residence of the former governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode.”

“We need to state for the records that the EFCC did not raid Ambode’s house. It is instructive that his administration, like other former governors is under investigation, since they no longer constitutionally enjoy immunity against prosecution.”

“The Commission hereby states with high sense of responsibility that the operatives did not raid Ambode’s residence.”

“Whatever the Commission is presently doing with regards to the investigation is in line with its mandate and the rule of law.”
