miscreants on the prowl

AIG Hakeem Odumosu, former Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, has distanced himself from reports that he was appointed as acting head of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) by President Bola Tinubu before leaving Nigeria for France yesterday.

Odumosu claimed that he was unaware of the appointment and that he had no conversation with the president prior to his departure, describing the spread of the bogus appointment as an unneeded diversion by mischief makers.

In his statement earlier today he said “Good morning everyone, I have been inundated with so many calls and messages on a purported “EFCC Appointment” between yesterday and today, I just want to use this opportunity to debunk this information and say it’s completely false.”

“This information must have come from Mischief Makers and should be completely ignored.”
