The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has refuted rumors that FCT Minister Nyesom Wike intends to ask the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to look into Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, the former FCT Minister, regarding some irregularities in the awarding of contracts and other similar issues.
This has been denied by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), which also denied reports that FCT Minister Nyesom Wike intends to do so.
On Friday, rumors of the claimed scheme were circulating on social media.
However, according to a statement from FCTA director Anthony Ogunleye, the reports are completely unfounded and have no merit at all.
Although Wike raised worries and displeasure about anomalies found in the procurement and implementation of some projects during his routine inspections of various projects within the FCT, Ogunleye claimed he didn’t consider or authorize any action against anyone.
He continued by saying that the circulating reports serve only to maliciously foment dissension and misunderstanding.
Therefore, he advised well-meaning Nigerians and the general public to be cautious when they come across such erroneous information.
