The EFCC stated this in a statement issued on Wednesday by its Spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren.

Uwujaren said the EFCC has verified Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages with its logo and the blue badge clearly reflected.

He added, “Any other contrived page of the Commission on any social media platform should be ignored.

“The Commission wishes to draw specific attention to fake “EFCC Benin Page, EFCC Kaduna page, and EFCC _Abuja page” and a certain “Ahmad Abdurrashid Gumel Baffa”  running another fake EFCC page on Instagram.

“All these faceless characters are operating their pages in flagrant violation of the sanctity of the legal identity of the EFCC. The Commission may take appropriate legal actions against them.

“We urge the public not to transact any transactions with these characters and report any such operator to the commission, whenever they come across such.”

Meanwhile, Kanyi Daily reported that the anti-graft agency denied that its chairman has a deal with Tunde Ayeni describing such reports as false.
