EFCC Denies Freezing Senator Adeleke’s Account and those of his family members, including popular musician, Davido.
Senator Ademola Adeleke who is the the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Osun State formerly alleged that his bank accounts and that of his family members were frozen by the authorities of Economic Financial Crime Commission.
Reacting to the alligation, the EFCC spokesman, Mr Wilson Uwujaren, in a statement on Sunday, stated that the media publications alleging the Senator Adeleke’s family account freeze by the EFCC were false.
“The commission calls on members the public to disregard the report, which is patently false and contrived to dress the agency with a partisan garb in the unfolding political contest in Osun State.
“For the avoidance of doubt, at no time did the EFCC place a freeze order on any account belonging to members of the Adeleke family.
“The purported freeze order which has unfortunately been amplified by pliable sections of the media without any attempt at confirmation, is alien to the commission and another example of fake news.
“The EFCC frowns at the seeming attempts by faceless forces to drag it into the political fray,” he said.

Uwujaren restated the commission’s “neutrality as a law enforcement organisation that is sworn to uphold the law at all times, irrespective whose interest is at stake”.
