Malami whose office supervises the operation of the EFCC said the Commission had not briefed him on circumstances surrounding the arrest. He however hinted that he was aware of a pending case between Innoson and Guaranteed Trust Bank.
“In all sincerity, I wasn’t privy to facts that led to the arrest. I haven’t been briefed by the relevant agency. But one thing l know is the fact that there has been a case between him (Chukwuma) and the GTBank that is pending in court and it is being prosecuted.
“Apart from that, I am not privy to facts and circumstances that led to his alleged arrest yesterday (Wednesday). So, until I am briefed by the relevant agency, I am not in a clear position to make any comment about the arrest.
“I have not been informed by the relevant agency. I know the case is in court between him and GTBank. Until I am briefed, I am not in a position to make further comments on it.”
