Kogi State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Mr Kingsley Fanwo, has said that the state government has facts to disprove the allegations the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had levelled against it.

The commissioner disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists, stating that the Kogi government would prepare a comprehensive response to the what it called “the desperate moves by the commission“.

The commissioner was responding to a statement issued by the EFCC on Friday where it alleged that the state government had kept N20 billion bailout fund meant to pay workers salaries in a commercial bank in order to yield interest.
