Former EFCC Chairman, Nuhu Ribadu, has denied claims that he accused President Buhari and other top politicians of sponsoring bandits in the country.

He described the news as fake saying they were fabricated by people who are out to bring him down.

Mr. Ribadu, however, said it is not the first time he would be linked to such ‘false reports.

This comes days after President Buhari had said that a member of the National Assembly is among the high-profile individuals sponsoring the leaders of secessionist groups in the country.
