Naija News reports that the viral post, which featured the EFCC logo, alleged that Sabinus, 43, was wanted for obtaining money by false pretence.

It also listed a purported last known address as 13/14 Ligali Ayomide Street, Victoria Island, Lagos State.

However, the EFCC in a post via its official ?? handle stamped the circulating poster “FAKE NEWS.

The post read, “Clout chaser, Stop this now!”

Meanwhile, the EFCC has opened up on the reason it has failed to apprehend controversial relationship expert, Blessing CEO, over her cancer claims and fundraising.

Recall that the media personality had claimed last month that she had been diagnosed with stage four breast cancer and sought for financial help from Nigerians.

However, Blessing later clarified in interviews that she does not have stage four cancer, attributing earlier reports to a misunderstanding.

She said she was still awaiting further medical tests and had not started chemotherapy. She also insisted that the amount she received from the public was ?13 million, not the widely circulated figure of ?100 million.

Following the development, there has been outrage on social media with netizens urging the anti-graft agency to take action against the relationship expert.

However, speaking to The Cable, a source in the EFCC explained that the commission has not received a formal petition against Blessing CEO. The anti-graft agency said it requires a legitimate complainant to begin a probe and, if necessary, pursue a case in court.
