The attention of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission has been drawn to a
recorded audio conversation attached to a report
with the caption, EFCC Detains Brother of Former
Akwa Ibom State Governor Ibanga Akpabio ,
which appeared today, November 2, 2016 on the
online news portal, Sahara Reporters, allegedly
featuring two Akwa Ibom politicians, Ibanga
Akpabio and a certain Osong.


In the said audio recording, a voice purporting to
be Akpabio could be heard dropping the names of
some security chiefs including the acting
Chairman of the Commission, Ibrahim Magu, and
boasting about the supposed EFCC boss'
willingness to help deal with his purported
political adversaries in Akwa Ibom state,
especially a certain Robinson Uwak.



The Commission wishes to state that the claims
in this tape especially as it affects Mr. Magu are
patently false. The EFCC boss has never met
Ibanga Akpabio all his life and could not have
been party to any violent scheme to settle
unknown political scores in Akwa Ibom State.


Indeed, if Magu were Akpabio's Man- Friday as
he would have his 'friend' believe, he would not
today be a suspect answering to charges of fraud
before the Commission.
