THE Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has described as untrue report by an online medium that the secret police, the Department of State Services (DSS) carted away files implicating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and those of his close aides from the offices of the ICPC and Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).
The anti-graft agency in a statement today, refuted the report by the online medium and stated unequivocally that there were no files implicating President Tinubu or close aides at its headquarters or offices across the states and therefore the alleged carting away of such imaginary files is unfounded and should be disregarded by the public.
“While the Commission does not dispute the role of the media to inform the public, it is however deeply disturbed by irresponsible practice and non-adherence to the tenets of the journalism profession by some media outlets.
“For the umpteenth time, the Commission wishes to urge media organisations not to allow the use of their medium to propagate lies and unfounded reports by subversive agents.
“The Commission’s channels of communications remain open for clarification and confirmation”, the statement posted on the Commission’s website pointed out.
