The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has disowned a press release which purported that the Commission was investigating allegations of money laundering and criminal forfeiture of funds against the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
The purported press release claims that INEC is liaising with the Northern Illinois District Court in the US to get more facts about the allegations against the former Lagos State governor.
The Commission issued the disclaimer in a press statement shared on its social media platforms this evening.
The statement signed by Festus Okoye, chairman of the Commission’s Information and Voter Education Committee, urged members of the public to “ignore the press release.”
