Professor Osinbajo has denied reports from social media, that he received the sum of N4billion naira from the embattled acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Ibrahim Magu.
The Vice President said, he has never and will never be involved in any shady business with anybody.
Reports had claimed that Osinbajo also allegedly gave instructions to the embattled EFCC chair, to release some of the recovered loots.
The allegation was one of the top trending topics on the Nigerian tweeting street on Wednesday. But the Vice President through his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr Laolu Akande, put out a tweet to dispel the rumour, where he described it as fake news.
He tweeted saying, that Osinbajo has never been involved in such shady activities.
He said, “Inundated by wide circulation of Fake News about VP’s purported involvement in some EFCC recovery billions, please rest assured they’re all LIES: calculated to confuse and concocted to smear Prof. Osinbajo’s image,” he added.
