Kogi State Government says it has given a 48-hour ultimatum to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC to apologize and retract a malicious statement that it kept N20 billion bailout funds meant to pay salaries in a commercial bank to yield interest.
The State Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo, during a briefing on Sunday in Lagos State said the state government did not open or create the said account.
Fanwo equally challenged the anti-graft agency to produce the account mandate and details of those who operated the account.
The Commissioner, However, maintained that after 48 hours, if the commission refuses to retract their ill-fated press statement, the state government would drag them to court.
