The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has debunked reports suggesting that popular Nigerian comedian Sabinus is on its wanted list.
This clarification follows the circulation of a viral poster online which falsely claimed that the comedian was being sought by the anti-graft agency.
In a statement, the EFCC described the poster as fake and urged the public to disregard it, emphasizing that Sabinus is not under investigation nor declared wanted by the commission.
The agency also warned against the spread of misinformation, noting that such false claims could damage reputations and mislead the public.
The development has since sparked reactions on social media, with many fans expressing relief while condemning the spread of unverified information.
