The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has asked the general public to disregard online media reports claiming that the FCT Minister, Nyesom
Wike, had invited the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission to investigate the immediate-past FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Bello, about certain irregularities in the award of contracts and related matters.
The FCTA, in a statement signed by the director of press in the FCT Administration, Anthony Ogunleye, on Sunday, described the report as a deliberate attempt to spread fake news and create unnecessary tensions. According to the statement, the FCTA categorically and unequivocally stated that the reports were entirely baseless and without any merit whatsoever.
“The FCT Minister, during his routine inspections of various projects within the FCT, has indeed expressed concerns and frustrations regarding irregularities observed in the procurement and execution of certain projects, amongst other observations which he very publicly expressed. “However, at no point did he contemplate or authorize any action by anyone within or outside the FCT Administration to invite the EFCC or ICPC to investigate the former FCT Minister in connection with these or any other matters.
