“EFCC Has Not Declared Ex-Gov. Matawalle Wanted” – Official

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, said it had not declared the former Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle wanted for any crime.

This is contained in a statement signed by Wilson Uwujaren, Head, Media & Publicity, and made available to newsmen.

“The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to a report, entitled, Alleged N70billion Fraud: EFCC Declares Ex-Zamfara Gov, Matawalle Wanted,

Accordi to the statement, this appeared in a national daily newspaper of June 18, 2023 and purports that the Commission had declared a former Zamafara State governor, Bello Matawalle wanted and requested the Department of State Service, DSS, to arrest him, “anywhere he is seen”.

“Without prejudice to the case involving the former governor, the report is incorrect as the Commission has yet to declare Matawalle wanted or solicit the assistance of any Agency, including the DSS, to effect his arrest.

“The Commission has standard procedure for declaring persons wanted and communicating same to the public, not through faceless “security sources,” the EFCC spokesman said.
