Senator Godswill Akpabio, insists that he was not arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Friday.

It was reported that the EFCC took in the former governor of Akwa Ibom, for questioning, over alleged fraudulent activities during his 8-year tenure as governor.

Reacting to the purported arrest and subsequent reports, Akpabio took to his Twitter page to make some clarifications.

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

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. — Sen Godswill Akpabio (@SenAkpabio) October 16, 2015

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

Senator Akpabio was called from EFCC to come for explanations & he drove there himself 50mins later so why all the news of arrest?
