The former Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, AIG Hakeem Odumosu has described the purported online news making round about his appointment as the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) as fake news, totally untrue as it’s emanated from mischief makers.
Recalled that The Quest Times in a FACT CHECK Published earlier today described the news as a baseline rumour without authentication.
The speculations had stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Retired AIG Hakeem Odumosu as the Chairman of EFCC on Tuesday.
However, on Wednesday Odumosu claimed that he was not aware of such an appointment and that he had no discussion with the president before his departure, describing the circulation of the fake appointment as an unnecessary distraction by mischief makers.
His words: “Good Morning everyone, I have been inundated with so many calls and messages between yesterday and today on a purported “EFCC Appointment”., I just want to use this opportunity to debunk this information and say it’s untrue.
“This information must have emanated from Mischief Makers and should be totally disregarded.”
