EFCC's Arrest of Innoson Motors Boss.

Our attention has been drawn to a tweet by EFCC on its official Twitter handle claiming that the gestapo kind of arrest of Dr Innocent Chukwuma (OFR) today at his Enugu residence was because he didn't honour an invitation from the commission sent to him.

This claim by the commission is not factual and it tends to mislead the public and bring the personality and character of Dr Innocent Chukwuma to disrepute. Hence we want to state the true position so as to inform the general public the truth about this matter.

EFCC never at any time invited Dr Innocent Chukwuma either in writing or through any other means. We are aware that EFCC investigated GTB's complaint against Innoson in 2012.

During the investigation he was invited and he honoured the invitation. After the investigation EFCC filed a charge against him at Lagos State High Court. The charge was subsequently struck out. However Dr Innocent Chukwuma and Innoson Nigeria Ltd appealed against the order striking out the case on the basis that it ought to be dismissed and not struck out. The appeal - Appeal no. Ca/l/1330cm/2017 - is still pending at the Court of Appeal Lagos division. Till date, EFCC never invited Dr Innocent Chukwuma again.

On this recent arrest, Dr Innocent Chukwuma (OFR) has not been told officially the reason for his arrest, and he demands to know why.

Gtb pay your debt. Everyday they will be deducting money from peoples account anyhow.

Innoson should hold them wella

Efcc should produce innoson invitation letter to prove that they invited him

They should be ashamed of themselves to be dragged into a purely business matter

They want to use this one to distract us.

Afonjas will come in now and start citing forgery and not paying debt....dumb wicked things who cannot reason. Ask yourselves...if Innoson forged or defaulted his debt, why then DID THE COURT RULED IN HIS FAVOR? This case went to court, both parties GTB and Innoson presented their evidence, at the end, the court looked at the evidence said..,GTB you are a bloody liar, pay Innoson every dime you illegally deducted from his account. I REPEAT AGAIN...THE COURT HAVE DECIDED ON THIS ISSUE AND RULED IN FAVOR OF INNOSON. So anything you hear from Afonjas are propaganda....THE CIURT HAVE EVIDENCE WE GENERAL PUBLIC DON'T HAVE!

5%ers Don suffer

It's such a shame people are supporting Gtb & EFCC's illegal actions just because it's affecting an Igbo man. What happened to us as a country ?

A lot will be revealed in the coming days.
EFCC will be wishing now that they didn't get involved if this be true...they just succeeded in fueling an unending tribal war.
