Chris Ngige, former Anambra State governor and ex-Labour Minister, is in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), not kidnapped, according to his media aide, Fred Chukwuelobe.
Chukwuelobe clarified this on Facebook after receiving multiple calls about the alleged abduction, saying “Ngige is with the EFCC.
He was not ‘abducted’ or ‘kidnapped’,” with more details to follow.
The EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, hasn’t responded to requests for confirmation.
This comes after Ngige’s convoy was attacked on November 27 in Anambra, leaving a woman dead and a police officer injured, though he wasn’t in the convoy at the time.
