Ekweremadu refutes arrest by EFCC

Former Deputy President of the Senate in the Eight National Assembly, Ike Ekweremadu, on Thursday, refuted reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrested him and interrogated him.

Ekweremadu in a statement by his Media Assistant, Uche Anichukwu, informed his supporters that he was never arrested by the EFCC, adding that there was nothing to worry about.

The Senator remarked the report, just like previous others before now, represented only the “unholy imagination of the authors and their sponsors”

The statement read: “My attention has been called to a fake story making the round purporting that I was arrested by the EFCC. I could not have bothered about such spurious tales, but for the concerns shown by my friends and supporters through calls and messages.

“There was no such arrest and I have never been arrested by the EFCC.

“The public should, therefore, ignore this and other such hatchet reports and smear campaigns as they only represent the unholy imaginations of the authors and their sponsors.”
