Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio has described his purported detention by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC over alleged attempt to bribe the agency’s Chairman with $350,000 as false, fake and unfounded.
Akpabio, who stated this while reacting to a report published by an online medium, to the extent that he was detained by the anti-graft agency for two hours after an attempt bribery allegation, said the report was falsehood peddled by the authors of the false and malicious publications.
The minister, therefore, urged the general public to discountenance the said publication as ‘It was propelled by persons whose stock-in-trade is politics of blackmail now occasioned by the very serious progress made in respect of the on-going Forensic Audit of the NDDC.”

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), yesterday, said it expected operators in the financial system, especially bankers, to declare their assets by June 1, 2021 at the most.
Its Executive Chairman, Abdulrashed Bawa, gave the deadline while addressing State House correspondents after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja.
He said the move, which is pursuant to the Bank Employees, ETC (Declaration of Assets) Act 1986, is part of measures to sanitise the nation’s financial system and block some of the loopholes currently being exploited by unscrupulous players in the sector to undermine the economy through money laundering and illicit financial flows.
