Hakeem Odumosu Dismisses Rumoured EFCC Chairman Appointment, Says ‘Totally Untrue’

An Assistant Inspector General of Police, Hakeem Odumosu (retd), has debunked the reports that he had been appointed as the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Some media platforms had on Tuesday night news indicating that President Bola Tinubu had appointed Odumosu ad Chairman of the EFCC.

But in an interview with Punch on Wednesday, Odumosu refuted the claim, saying mischief makers were behind the information.

He, therefore, called on members of the public to disregard the information.

Odumosu said, “I have been inundated with so many calls and messages between yesterday and today on a purported “EFCC Appointment”.

“I just want to use this opportunity to debunk this information and say it’s totally untrue. This information must have emanated from mischief makers and should be disregarded.”

Meanwhile, Kanyi Daily reported that the erstwhile chairman of the agency, Abdulrasheed Bawa, was suspended by Tinubu and in his place, asked Abdulkarim Chukkol to take over the leadership of the anti-graft agency in an acting capacity.

Similarly, the Department of State Services (DSS) has since invited Bawa for “some investigative reasons” concerning him.
