Samuel Ortom, the immediate past governor of Benue State, has denied claims that he was arrested by Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives.
According to social media reports, the former governor was apprehended by the anti-graft agency in Makurdi on Monday.
Ortom, on the other hand, claimed in a statement issued Tuesday night by his media adviser, Terver Akase, that he was merely honoring an invitation from the EFCC.
According to the statement, Ortom “was neither arrested nor detained at the EFCC Zonal Headquarters in Makurdi”.
The statement reads partly, “Contrary to insinuations in some sections of the media, the immediate past Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom today visited the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC to honour the invitation of the commission.
“The former Governor has repeatedly said that he is available to respond to inquiries by anti-graft agencies as he has nothing to hide regarding his stewardship of Benue State.”
