As at the time of the report, EFCC has not declared Matawalle wanted and has not made any requests to the DSS for his arrest. The Commission follows a specific procedure for declaring individuals wanted and disseminates this information publicly, not through anonymous “security sources”. The report in question is inaccurate and misleading.
It is important to note that this statement does not pass judgment on the case involving the former Zamfara State governor, as it is still under investigation. However, it is necessary to clarify that the EFCC has not taken any official action to declare him wanted or seek assistance from other agencies for his arrest.
The EFCC is committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that justice is served. As an agency responsible for investigating and prosecuting economic and financial crimes, it takes its mandate seriously and follows due process in all its operations.
When the EFCC declares someone wanted, it issues an official statement and provides detailed information about the individual, including their name, photograph, and the specific charges against them. This information is then shared with the public through various channels, including the EFCC website, social media platforms, and traditional media outlets.
The EFCC believes in transparency and accountability, and it strives to keep the public informed about its activities. By adhering to the standard procedure for declaring persons wanted, the Commission ensures that accurate and reliable information is disseminated to the public.
It is important for the media and the general public to exercise caution and verify information from credible sources before publishing or sharing news articles. False or misleading reports can harm the reputation of individuals and organizations involved.
In conclusion, the EFCC states categorically that it has not declared Matawalle wanted and has not requested the DSS or any other agency to arrest him. The report in the Sunday Tribune is inaccurate, and the Commission urges the public to rely on official statements and credible sources for accurate information.
