The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has said it was not behind the failed prosecution of the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
The CCT on Wednesday threw out the case over what it described as the unreliability of the witness in the case.
In a series of tweets on its Twitter handle: @officialEFCC, the anti-corruption agency made it clear to Nigerians that it was not the prosecutor at the CCT trial.
The EFCC also disowned the prosecuting counsel in the case, Rotimi Jacobs, saying he was an independent anti-corruption lawyer to the state and could be counsel to any organisation.
During the two years trial of Saraki, Jacobs was always refereed to as the counsel to the EFCC.
But the EFCC disclaimed him about 24 hours after the case was thrown out.
It tweeted: “For our friends that do not know, the #EFCC was NOT prosecuting the Senate President.”
