The EFCC allegation was contained in a statement issued in Abuja last night by the spokesman of the Commission, Mr. Osita Nwajah.
The statement reads, “Information has reached EFCC that members of a certain faceless group calling themselves the Niger Delta Liberation Army, (NDLA) have concluded plans to attack Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, Executive Chairman of EFCC.
“As a prelude to the planned attack, the group which prides itself as a band of “Blood suckers” has launched a campaign of calumny via SMS to many Nigerians’ GSM phones.
“The group also threatens ‘To turn the nossle (sic) of blood suckers’ against EFCC agents in Port Harcourt and other parts of the Niger Delta if their “son” former Governor of Bayelsa State, DSP Alameyeseigha who is standing trial for alleged corrupt enrichment and money laundering is not released by EFCC.
“EFCC notes that the threats of the faceless “Blood suckers” are coming so soon after the dumping of fetish objects at the residence of Mallam Ribadu.
“However, the accusation by the group that the Executive Chairman of EFCC has acquired several properties, including a house allegedly bought recently in Abuja for a mind boggling N80m, is ridiculous and entirely false.
“The EFCC Chairman has NOT bought any house not to talk of one worth N80 million."
