Senators Blast EFCC Over the Arrest of Chairman of Innoson Motors, Chukwuma Innocent
On Wednesday, members of the Senate attacked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over the manner the commission went about the arrest of Chukwuma Innocent, the chairman Innoson motors who was arrested on Tuesday, December 19.

Citing order 42 & 52, Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu told the Senate how officials of the EFCC invaded the house of Innocent Chukwuka over a personal transaction between him and the Guaranty Trust Bank that’s already in court while Chukwu Innocent remains in police custody.

Senator Olusola Adeyeye while speaking on the matter faulted the EFCC saying: "When injustice is fostered on any Nigerian, it is fostered on all of us. The EFCC violated sections 34, 35 and 36 of the Nigerian Constitution. What’s the business of EFCC in making arrest over civil matter."

Senator Na’allah while blasting the EFCC accused the commission of carrying over a military mentality to this present dispensation. “There is no doubt there’s been a carry over of the military mentality that is lacking concentration. The @officialEFCC do what they like because they have the power, this is uncivilized and unhealthy.” he said.

On his part, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe argued that the EFCC is engaging in a self care package, calling the arrest an impunity.

“How can a commercial transaction between a client and his bank lead to the involvement of EFCC and his arrest. EFCC is engaging in a self care package, we must say NO to this kind of impunity." Abaribe said.

After the debate, the Senate resolved to:
1. Intervene in the arrest of Mr. chukwuma innocent, Chairman Innoson EFCC and
2. That the Committee on anti-corruption and financial crimes investigate the matter and report to the Senate in 24 hours.

#MaguMustGo.

I hope this is true.

EFCC is now a cheap brothel LovePeddler

The children of the flying demons...including the one called Alariiwo..who said that INNOSON will go down...will not like this...

effc will be better when independent chairman is appointed instead of a police officer as been the case. we all know police and eye service. the guy want to please buhari and justify his pay. too bad

Good job senate

hmmm

Good one from the senate. Meanwhile those people bringing tribal sentiment into it should please stop because at the end of the day we are all nigerians.

buhari has made the senate so docile.
they r helpless

See this magu with his dudu osun face... He was d one shouting that Senate was treating him unfair during his confirmation period... Now he is the one doing that same tin....

EFCC is just like a prostitute that can be bought by anybody as long as you have the money.

This senate is totally independent. Weldone able senators for standing for the Truth. Imagine wat would have happened to Nigeria without these senators

From the facts we were presented with, Gtbank was owing the man. The arrest was just the bank’s way of turning the tide by subterfuge. We know the way these banks operate on their corporate loan accounts. Igbos should however not view this as an ethnic witch hunt. It is simply a business transaction gone south.
