Senator Ike Ekweremadu has reacted to reports that he was ‘arrested’ by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on Monday.
Ekweremadu, in a statement via his Facebook page, described the report as ‘Fake News’.
POLITICS NIGERIA recalls that it was widely reported that Ekweremadu was invited to come an explain how he was able to acquire 22 properties in Nigeria, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom as the properties were not declared in his Code of Conduct form.
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.”
