Chukwuelobe clarified the situation in response to reports claiming that the ex-Anambra governor had been abducted.
“I have been receiving calls in the past hour from friends and journalists seeking the veracity of the news making the rounds that His Excellency, Dr. Chris Ngige, former governor of Anambra state and immediate past minister of labour and employment, ‘has been kidnapped, Ngige is with the EFCC. He was not ‘abducted’ or ‘kidnapped’,’” he posted on Facebook.
It is unclear why the agency detained Ngige as the anti-graft agency is yet to react to the development as of the time of filing this report.
