EFCC slams aides to the President on Political Matters, Babafemi Ojodu for linking it to Saraki




The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has berated the Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Senator Babafemi Ojudu , for accusing the EFCC of playing out a script written by Senate President Bukola Saraki .


Ojudu had in an article titled, ‘Fifth columnists in our recent history ’, accused Saraki of orchestrating the Department of State Services’ blockade of the National Assembly and the EFCC’s freezing of the Benue and Akwa Ibom states’ accounts last week .

He had said, “From the shenanigans at the Benue House of Assembly to the siege on National Assembly , the attack on judges home in the night, the so - called barricade of the Senate President’ s house, the laughable kidnap of Boy Dino and ‘ his 11 hours on a tree ’ , the freezing of the Benue and Akwa Ibom accounts all are scripted , produced and acted by Oloye (Saraki ) Productions . ”

However, the EFCC in a statement by its spokesman , Mr Wilson Uwujaren, said the freezing of the accounts were not scripted by Saraki but by the commission after months of painstaking investigations.
The anti - graft agency advised Ojudu and other politicians to do proper investigation before making allegations.


The statement read in part, “The attention of the EFCC has been drawn to a widely syndicated article by Senator Babafemi Ojudu, Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters entitled , ‘ Fifth columnists in our recent history ,’ wherein he portrayed the commission as a conscript in the devious plots by Senator Bukola Saraki to undermine the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari .
