EFCC’S FIRM RESPONSE
The anti-corruption body warned that:
- The listing is completely false
- Individuals spreading such claims could face legal action
- Citizens should verify information before sharing online
SOCIAL MEDIA EXPLOSION
The incident quickly became a trending topic, with hashtags and jokes circulating widely. While some laughed at the audacity of the claim, others took it as a reminder of the dangers of fake news.
“No, the EFCC is not selling its building. Stop forwarding false listings,” the agency concluded sternly.
