The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday faulted Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Chairman Prince Uche Secondus for alleging that the anti-graft agency has been intimidating contractors working for some PDP states, especially in Rivers and Taraba.
The commission described Secondus’ allegations as puerile and without substance.
In a statement by its Head of Media and Publicity, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, the EFCC asked Secondus to provide evidence of any intimidation or harassment.
The statement said: “Allegation by Prince Uche Secondus of harassment and intimidation of contractors working for some PDP states by the EFCC is puerile and lacks substance. Who are the contractors being intimidated? That he failed to mention them is evidence that the so-called contractors do not exist.
“The EFCC is not in the business of harassing people and I don’t know any contractor that is being intimidated merely for doing contract in a PDP state.
“If you have not violated the law, the EFCC has no business with you. Unless they are haunted by their shadows, Secondus and his contractors in Taraba and Rivers states should sleep easy.”
