In a recent development, Lawal Pedro, the Lagos State Attorney General, has denied claims that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has sued the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). This clarification comes in response to a news article that suggested the governor took legal action over an alleged plan to arrest him after his tenure.

Pedro stated that Sanwo-Olu has never filed a lawsuit or hired a lawyer regarding this issue. He highlighted that the governor, who enjoys constitutional immunity, has almost three years left in office, making it unlikely for him to engage in such legal proceedings.

Furthermore, Pedro confirmed that the EFCC is not investigating Sanwo-Olu and has never threatened to arrest him or any of his staff. He is also looking into how this misinformation circulated without their knowledge.

The Attorney General praised Sanwo-Olu for his dedication to public service and effective management of state resources. He assured citizens that the governor has nothing to fear when his term ends in May 2027.

Pedro urged media organizations to exercise caution in reporting to prevent the public from being misled by false information.

• Lagos AGF denies claims of Sanwo-Olu suing the EFCC.
• No investigation or arrest threats against the governor.
• Pedro calls for responsible reporting in the media.
