A Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Senator Bala Mohammed, on Monday dismissed reports he has been indicted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in the ongoing investigation of public officers that served in the last administration.
The ex-minister said he was neither indicted nor were his properties confiscated by the anti-graft agency, noting that he was yet to be personally invited by the EFCC to explain corruption allegations levelled against him.
Mohammed, who spoke through his media consultant, Emma Agu, said he was unhappy about the media spotlight brought to his family by the EFCC investigation, adding that his political opponents were taking the advantage of the situation to cause mischief and smear his family name and character.
The ex-minister described the EFCC probe of his tenure as legitimate, but cautioned mischief makers not rush to conclusion as he was ready to give account of his stewardship in office.
