Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has denied an audio recording on Fayose alleging that the Acting chairman of the Agency, Ibrahim Magu said that if Fayose dies in their custody nothing will happen.
Fayose had on Tuesday surrendered himself to the anti-graft agency for investigation on corruption.
The agency in statement released said,” The EFCC alerts the public of an audio recording currently circulating in the social media in which Acting EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, purportedly made comments to effect that nothing will happen peradventure Ayo Fayose, ex-Ekiti governor dies in custody.
“Interestingly, the audio tape did not disclose the place where the conversation occurred and the person that Magu was supposedly talking to.
“Members of the public are advised to disregard this disingenuous creation an handiwork of mischief makers intent on distracting the EFCC from the serious work of wrapping up the investigation into the corruption allegations against Fayose.
“The audio recording is fake as the comments did not emanate from the Chairman of the EFCC. Purveyors of this fake news especially a former spokesperson of a leading political party are warned to desist.”
