The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Walter Onnoghen, is not under investigation for alleged corruption, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said.

The anti-graft agency made this known in response to media reports that it is investigating high-profile personalities.

According to reports, the commission is investigating Ekiti state Governor Ayodele Fayose, his predecessor Kayode Fayemi ,former Minister of Finance Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Justice Onnoghen, among others for alleged corruption.

But the EFCC in a statement did not deny investigating the others.

Wilson Uwajuren, the commission’s spokesperson, stated that the recently leaked report of the probe of the CJN was not accurate.

He said, though, there were petitions filed against the CJN at the time he was being considered for his current position, the agency found no valid claim in the allegations.

The statement read, “The Commission wishes to state categorically that it is currently not investigating Justices Onnoghen and Kafarati.”

“It is important to state that this report did not emanate from the EFCC and the allusion to “an EFCC source” is diversionary and mischievous.

“For the avoidance of doubt, cases under investigation communicated to the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation by the Commission are classified information and it is troubling how such would be leaked to the media.

“Indeed, much damage has been done to the Commission’s investigation activities by this leak especially as some of the cases mentioned are still at preliminary stages of investigation.”
