A’Ibom denies involvement in EFCC’s seizure of ex-gov’s Lagos residence

The Akwa Ibom State Government has denied allegations that Governor Umo Eno was involved in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission's (EFCC) seizure of a Lagos property belonging to former Governor Udom Emmanuel.

Senator John Akpanudoedehe, the 2027 governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress, had accused Governor Umo Eno of reporting his predecessor to the EFCC, leading to the seizure of the property, in a video circulating online.

The Commissioner for Information, Aniekan Umanah, described Akpanudoedehe's comment as baseless and false, stating that Governor Umo Eno has never reported anyone, including his predecessor, to the EFCC.
