The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has dismissed as fake news reports claiming that Interpol rejected its wanted alert on Bashir Haske, son-in-law of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the anti-graft agency described the reports as false, stressing that no such rejection came from Interpol.
The EFCC had earlier declared Haske wanted over alleged financial crimes. However, shortly after the declaration, reports surfaced alleging that Interpol turned down the alert on grounds of political persecution—claims the Commission has now debunked.
