The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has refuted claims made in an article titled "EFCC Stopped Service of Charges on Binance Chief, FIRS Alleges," which was published in a prominent national newspaper.

EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale stated on Friday that the report is misleading, deceptive, and not reflective of the facts presented in court.

He clarified that the EFCC had not been contacted by the court bailiff to serve charges to any Binance executives in its custody.

Furthermore, Moses Ideh, the attorney for the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), did not mention this issue in the previous court session. His only comment was that the defendants had not been served by the Service.

Consequently, the Commission deems the publication as absurd and a cause for embarrassment.

The public is urged to disregard the news entirely.
