The commission’s spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, denied the reports in a tweet via its Twitter handle, urging Nigerians to disregard the report as fake news.

According to a statement signed by Bayo Onanuga, Director of the PCC Media and Publicity, the campaign council discovered that the rogue website was set up to disseminate false and malicious information about their principal.

Onanuga frowned at the story, saying it lacked the essential “when, where, and how” ingredients of any news story.

While applauding the EFCC for quickly distancing itself from the fake story by issuing a formal statement on the alleged raid by its men, the former managing director of the News Agency of Nigeria urged Nigerian security agencies to go after the website owners.

He said, “We urge the authorities to fish out the people behind the site, that is recklessly dishing out fake news, before more damage is done to our polity. We want to warn Nigerians to be wary of every piece of news emanating from the site, and its social media handles.”
