The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) last night alerted the public about a letter supposedly from the office of the Chief of Staff to President Goodluck Jonathan, mandating the commission to initiate discreet investigation against some prominent political figures in the country.

“The commission urges the public to discountenance the said letter as it is forged document, intended to mislead the people,” EFCC spokesman Wilson Uwujaren said in Abuja.

He added that the features of the letter are markedly different from that on a genuine letter from the office of the Chief of Staff to the President.
