    We have not declared Matawalle wanted – EFCC debunks

    The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has debunked reports making the rounds that it has declared the immediate past governor of Zamfara state, Bello Matawalle wanted.

    In a June 18, 2023 statement signed by Wilson Uwujaren, Head, Media & Publicity of the EFCC, the commission stated that the Commission has yet to announced Matawalle wanted or solicit the assistance of any Agency, including the DSS, to effect his arrest.

    The commission further stated that it has standard procedures for announcing a person wanted.

    The statement reads:

    EFCC Has Not Declared Matawalle Wanted

    The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to a report, entitled, Alleged N70b Fraud: EFCC Declares Ex-Zamfara Gov, Matawalle Wanted, which appeared in the Sunday Tribune 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”.
