February 19, (THEWILL) – The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has refuted reports that its operatives raided the home of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the February 25 election.

Spokesperson of the Commission, Wilson Uwujaren, in a statement on Sunday, described the reports as fake news.
