Osun State Government rejects an allegation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that ₦11 billion was looted from the state’s account. According to the state, the EFCC’s claims are unfounded and amount to an effort to justify what it describes as the unlawful freezing of government funds.
Both outlets report that Osun challenges the EFCC’s position, alleging that the action is driven by political motivation rather than evidence of wrongdoing. The state government maintains that the freeze is improper and disputes the basis for the fraud/loot claim tied to its accounts.
The EFCC is not reported as providing additional details in the supplied summaries beyond the allegation amount. In response, Osun frames the matter as a “witch-hunt” and insists that the allegations do not reflect facts on the ground. The dispute centers on whether the EFCC has credible grounds for the ₦11 billion claim and whether the freezing of Osun’s funds follows lawful procedures.
