Image
  By allcitynews.ng  The Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), Zacch Adedeji, has dismissed online reports linking the NRS to an imaginary fraud related to the Frontier Exploration Fund, calling it sponsored fake news. The report had alleged the transfer of $279 million from the Fund’s account to some unnamed accounts and claimed that Adedeji and the NRS were in the know of the ‘illegal’ movement of money. According to the report, the alleged fraud had put Adedeji under pressure with stakeholders calling for forensic audit of the Fund’s account. But in his reaction via telephone, Adedeji dismissed the said report as fake news based on the imagination of some persons determined to tarnish his reputation and the image of the NRS. “That report is not true in any way.
