The Secretary to the Government of the Federation has officially distanced himself from the ongoing investigation involving his Personal Assistant, Andrew Uchi, who is currently being detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Reports indicate that Uchi faces serious allegations of corruption, bribery, and money laundering, with totals nearing N10 billion. He is accused of acquiring properties valued at over N6 billion across multiple locations, including Abuja, Jos in Plateau State, and various Local Government Areas in Benue State.
Moreover, two Bureau de Change operators are under scrutiny for their alleged connections to the money laundering activities related to Uchi.
In a statement released by the Office of the Director, Information and Public Relations, the SGF reiterated a commitment to transparency and accountability. The statement, titled “OSGF Distances Self from Corruption Allegations,” emphasized that the leadership of the office is not involved in the alleged misconduct and has always prioritized integrity.
The SGF’s office acknowledged the EFCC’s efforts to hold wrongdoers accountable and urged the public to refrain from speculation as the investigation continues, expressing gratitude for public understanding and support during this period.
