Senate minority leader and immediate past governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio, has debunked claims that he was arrested by the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) today as earlier reported on Famzn.com.
News filtered the social media that Akpabio, was arrested and taken in by EFCC operatives at about 5.20 pm.
He was stated to have been accompanied a few aides and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Ricky Tarfa.
The senator who made the disclosure via his official twitter handle stated he was not arrested and he has nothing to hide.
As stated by his twitter handle, "Senator Akpabio was called from EFCC to come for explanations & he drove there himself 50mins later, so why all the news of arrest?

Those who are playing politics with the decision of Senator Akpabio to honour the EFCC invitation must be acting a known script.
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.

Senator Akpabio was never arrested. He simply obliged an invitation to come & answer some questions at the EFCC."
