Former governor of Lagos State, AKINWUNMI AMBODE has urged his supporters and the general public to remain calm and law-abiding as there was no cause for alarm.

AMBODE, in a statement by his media aide, HABIB ARUNA, was reacting to the search by the EFCC on his Epe Country home and Parkview Ikoyi residence.

He said the Commission, till date, has not opened any direct communication with him on any issue, adding that he was ready and willing to respond if or when they do so.

Executive Chairman, Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership, DEBO ADENIRAN said the EFCC must carry out its exercise without any influence.

It would be recalled that AMBODE, in an earlier response to allegations by the EFCC that it had frozen certain accounts linked to him, insisted that no account of his contained N9.9bn let alone being frozen by the Commission.
