Former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio, was Friday evening a guest of the EFCC on allegations of a multi-billion naira fraud.
Although his media aide, Jackson Udom denied that the senate minority leader was arrested. Udom said that “Senator Akpabio went to EFCC this evening on his own volition based on some spurious allegations by one Leo Ekpenyong to the EFCC.”
“This evening, Senator Akpabio left his Abuja residence to honour an invitation by the EFCC. So the issue of being arrested is certainly out of it. Media practitioners should be able to differentiate between an arrest and an invitation so that the reading public would not be misled,” Udom said.
