The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared that it never  at any point in time cleared former governor of Bauchi State, Alhaji Adamu Muazu  of corruption charges.

The commission in a statement by its Head, Media & Publicity, Femi Babafemi  yesterday, debunked reports that suggest that the anti-graft agency had  concluded investigation on the corruption charges against the former governor  and found nothing against him.

It added that it became imperative to issue the clarification because of the  persistent enquiries coming from members of the public. While urging the media to always cross check their information through the open  communication channel provided by the Commission, it further explained that none  of its officials has been mandated under any guise to speak on a case that is  yet to be concluded.

“We wish to state emphatically that ex-governor Adamu Muazu is still being  investigated and as such could not have been cleared of graft allegations  against him.

“The former governor who until recently has been out of the country is still  expected to honour an invitation to interview a team of operatives investigating  the case against him”, the statement added.
