EFCC YET TO RECEIVE PETITION AGAINST AMAECHI

• Senior official says commission won’t act on assumptions

There seems to be confusion regarding a petition said to have been pending against the immediate past governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi. 

An investigation by Saturday Telegraph has revealed that there may not be any formal complaint before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) afterall.
A national daily had, in a report published on August 27, this year, stated that the anti-graft agency had begun an investigation into allegations of corruption contained in a petition against the ministerial nominee, by a Port- Harcourt-based group.
The report further noted that consequent upon the said petition, the EFCC had written three letters dated August 13. Two of the letters, it said, were addressed to the Permanent Secretary in the Rivers State Ministry of Finance. But, a highly placed source, who asked not to be identified told Saturday Telegraph, that he was not aware of any petition against Amaechi at the time of the investigation.
He said: “To the best of my knowledge, I don’t know of any petition before us against him (Amaechi), to have necessitated an invitation for questioning, as is consistent with our practice. If there is any – and I doubt – I’m not aware of such.” He promised to “keep you updated, whenever anything contrary to what I have just told you, happens.”
