“The IGP is not aware of the presence of EFCC operatives at the former Speaker’s residence, nor did he speak or interact with the EFCC operatives,” Amore, a Deputy Commissioner of Police, said in the statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).<\/p>\n

The police spokesman explained that the EFCC was not under the command of the Inspector- General of the Police and would not have involved him in its activity.<\/p>\n

He added that the anti-corruption organisation was even at liberty to invite the former Speaker or anybody, without any recourse to the IGP.<\/p>\n

“It was a mere coincidence that it was when EFCC operatives went to the house of the former Speaker that the IGP paid him a social visit.<\/p>\n

“His visit was to apologise for not attending a social event which the former Speaker had invited the IGP to,” Amore said.(NAN)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
