It initially started like another tale by moonlight designed
to set a new agenda and it most definitely achieved its purpose as the letter diffused
into serious public discourse causing confusion within the presidency and
opposition’s camp.
But, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) has notified the public to disregard the letter which surfaced online yesterday suggesting that
President Jonathan had ordered the agency to probe the financial operations of
APC leaders, saying it is fake.
A statement
from the agency signed by Head, Media and Publicity, Wilson
Uwujaren reads: "The Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, wishes to alert the public about a letter
supposedly from the office of the Chief of Staff to President Goodluck
Jonathan, mandating the Commission to initiate discreet investigation against
some prominent political figures in the country”.
The commission urged the public to discountenance the said letter as it is a
forged document intended to mislead the people. “The features of the letter are
markedly different from that on a genuine letter head from the office of the Chief
of Staff to the president”, Uwujaren claimed.
The
statement was accompanied with a prototype of original letterhead of the
agency.
