The Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) says contrary to widespread reports, the arrest of the former Secretary to the Government of Federation (SGF), Babbachir Lawal has nothing to with the recent statement issued by former President Olusegun Obasanjo. The Acting Spokesman of the Commission, Samin Amaddin stated this on Friday in a statement released to newsmen in Abuja. He explained that contrary to insinuations, his arrest was coincidental.


“When we are doing investigation, we don’t have a fixed time. Those speculating should have realised that several contractors are involved in this matter, and they were all invited, even banks. We have been working on this case since May 2017, so it is not a thing that just cropped up.


We are neither a political party nor politicians. We don’t have any relationship with what they are talking about. We are just doing our work. If the detention coincides with the latter, that is a different thing. Why are those talking not linking other people we have been inviting with Obasanjo’s letter?”
