Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, has denied receiving the sum of N4bn from the suspended acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu.
Some online newsmedium reports that the embattled former EFCC boss claimed he gave the VP 4bn Naira
The Vice President, who spoke through his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Professor Laolu Akande, declared that iota of truth in some media reports that embattled Magu told the presidential panel probing him that he gave Osinbajo N4bn after the vice president asked him to release part of recovered loot.
Akande in a statement made available to journalists, maintained that , “With all emphasis at our disposal, let it be firmly stated that these are totally false and baseless fabrications purporting to reflect goings-on at the probe panel investigating Mr Ibrahim Magu. They are indeed completely absurd in every respect.
“Sadly, such mindless, vicious and reckless publications have now become the preferred tool of unscrupulous and reprobate elements in our society who are procured with monetary inducement to peddle blatant falsehood, tarnish the image of upright public officials and mislead unsuspecting Nigerians.”
