According to him, the reports were part of the plans of critics to discredit the character and integrity of the Gandujes.

“Most, unfortunately, the fake story is being peddled on social media platforms without confirmation from either the government or the EFCC.

“The governor’s wife has not been arrested or detained and she is presently discharging her responsibilities,” the commissioner said.
