full statement below.
A well known industrialist Chief Innocent
Chukwuma popularly known by his company’s name, INNOSON, has been arrested by
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC .
He was picked up at about 11am at his Savage
Crescent , GRA Enugu residence today Tuesday December 19, 2017.
His arrest followed his refusal to honour
invitation by the Commission having earlier jumped an administrative bail
granted him in a case being investigated by the Capital Market and Insurance
Fraud Unit of the Commission’s Lagos office.
Chukwuma rather than honoring invitation by the
EFCC, mobilized six truck loads of thugs pretending to be staff of his company
to his residence, where they manhandled EFCC operatives.
It took reinforcement from the Enugu office of
the EFCC to effect the arrest of the industrialist who is currently being
grilled by a team of investigators.
