Ex Governor of Akwa Ibom now Senator, Godswill Akpabio has come out to deny that he was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC yesterday. It was reported yesterday, that the former governor was arrested on charges of fraud for the amount of $500 million.
In a statement via twitter, Akpabio denied that he was arrested, insisting that he was only invited to their office for questioning. He went on to state that he has nothing to hide, and he simply obliged the request to answer questions:
Senator Akpabio was never arrested. He simply obliged an invitation to come & answer some questions at the EFCC.

Senator Akpabio has nothing to hide that’s why he walked into EFCC himself this evening to answer questions about his tenure in Akwa Ibom. — Sen Godswill Akpabio (@SenAkpabio) October 16, 2015
Those who are playing politics with the decision of Senator Akpabio to honour the EFCC invitation must be acting a known script.

Senator Akpabio was called from EFCC to come for explanations & he drove there himself 50mins later so why all the news of arrest? — Sen Godswill Akpabio (@SenAkpabio) October 16, 2015
H.E Senator Akpabio is back to the house. We want to reaffirm that he has nothing whatsoever to hide about his term in office in Akwa Ibom.
