Colonel Ojogbane Adegbe has denied being arrested
by the EFCC.
Fresh reports emanating from the camp of ex-
president Goodluck Jonathan’s Aide-de-Camp (ADC),
Colonel Ojogbane Adegbe have it that the Army chief
was not arrested.
Reports had surfaced last week that the former ADC
was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) over corruption allegations in
Goodluck Jonathan’s administration for which ex-
National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo
Dasuki is being prosecuted.
In a letter written by the military personnel’s legal
adviser, Chief Ogwu Onoja (SAN) and obtained by
Daily Post, he expressed shocks and disbelief over the
recent viral report which quoted him as saying that if
he was forced to reveal what transpired under the last
administration, Nigeria will boil.
Ex-president Jonathan’s aide denied ever making
such controversial statement against his former boss
during his interrogation at the EFCC office.
“We have read with shock and disbelief the lead story
in your newspaper, dated Friday 12th February, 2016,
titled: ‘If I open up, Nigeria will burn. Detained
Jonathan’s ex-ADC warns, as EFCC declares Tompolo
wanted’,” the letter read.
“We have examined the full story contained on page 7
of the paper and the different statements credited to
him and compared them with provable facts. This
comparison shows without any doubt whatsoever that,
among others, the following of your statements about
what transpired are false:
a. You stated that Col. Adegbe was credited to have
said: “If I open up, Nigeria will burn.”
b. You stated that: “the economic and financial crimes
commission (EFCC) picked up Adegbe on Wednesday
in Lagos where he was interrogated before he was
flown to Abuja yesterday.”
c. You stated that: “It was gathered that ongoing
interrogation of the former ADC by operatives of the
EFCC could open up a new can of worms, which could
surpasss what is now known as Dasukigate”
d. You stated that: “Col. Adegbe who was arrested in
Lagos a few days ago, was said to be attending a
senior officers course outside the former capital city,
but on a visit, when he was picked up for
interrogation,” the lawyer further informed.
While explaining the true state of things over the arrest
of his principal, the lawyer informed that, “to set the
record straight, all the issues raised by your paper
above only exist in the figment of your imagination.
This attitude of yours is highly unprofessional and
capable of heating up the polity and has indeed
brought the name of our client to great disrepute.

“We are constrained to set the records straight by
informing you that our client was not arrested as
reported by your newspaper.
“To set the records straight, Col Adegbe was not
arrested by EFCC as claimed by your newspaper. It is
known fact that Col Adegbe has been in the UK for
studies having been released by the Nigerian Army to
do so.
“The EFCC wrote the military authority to invite our
client for questioning with respect to an ongoing
investigation to clarify certain allegations made against
him. The military authority invited him back to Nigeria,
which he willingly came in and reported to the office of
the provost marshal in Abuja on Wednesday 10th
February 2016.
“Due to his late arrival and the inability of the Army to
complete their documentation, he was asked to report
to the Garrison Mess in Mogadishu Cantonment in line
with military tradition till the next day. Upon completion
of the necessary paper work, he was excorted to the
EFCC where he wrote his statement and was
interrogated.
“We are also familiar with the statement he wrote at the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
and are also acquainted with answers he gave to
questions, so we are at a complete loss as to how your
newspaper arrived at that highly sensational and false
story. The lawyers and representative of the Nigerian
Army were present through out the interrogation.
There was never a time Col. Adegbe threatened to
burn down Nigeria.
“He has demanded a retraction of the said story with
the same banner headline and an apology from the
Sun Newspaper within 12 hours to avoid legal action.
“In view of your false and malicious statements, we
demand a retraction of the false story with the same
banner headline and an apology for your fictitious and
highly embarrassing report. The retraction and
apology must carry and be accorded the same
prominence not less than 7 editions of your
publication. We also demand that the retraction be
syndicated to all your prints and the online media links
in the same way and manner you spread the false
story.
“We demand this to be effected within 12 hours while
we advise our client on the legal implication of this
malicious publication.”
Speaking during a recent service in Lagos, the state
chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria
(CAN), Apostle Alexander Bamgbola, applauded the
ongoing anti-corruption move by President
Muhammadu Buhari, stating that nobody should be
scared, but wants ex-president Goodluck Jonathan
prosecuted if he’s found guilty.
“What is wrong with it? A former President of Peru
(Alberto Fujimori) was jailed. Also, a popular prime
minister of Israel (Ehud Olmert) was jailed. If a nation
puts you in a position of trust and you betray that trust,
you should go to jail no matter who you are.
“I have no sympathy for anybody. Just make sure you
get it right, and we get the facts right as well,” he
proffered when asked what his stance was on the call
for the prosecution of Jonathan.
