Former Commisioner of Police in Lagos State, Hakeem Odumosu has denied being appointed as substantive chairman of the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), by President Bola Tinubu.

A section of the media reported yesterday evening that Odumosu has been appointed to lead the anti-graft agency.

In his reaction early on Wednesday, he made it known that there is no appointment of such.

He wrote: “Good Morning everyone, I have been inundated with so many calls and messages between yesterday and today on a purported “EFCC Appointment”, I just want to use this opportunity to debunk this information and say it’s totally UNTRUE”.

The EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa was suspended about a week ago by President Tinubu.

He was arrested immediately by the Department of State of Security and he has been in the custody since then.
