Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio has described his purported detention by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC over alleged attempt to bribe the agency’s Chairman with $350,000 as false, fake and unfounded.
Akpabio, who stated this while reacting to a report published by an online medium, to the extent that he was detained by the anti-graft agency for two hours after an attempt bribery allegation, said the report was falsehood peddled by the authors of the false and malicious publications.
The minister, therefore, urged the general public to discountenance the said publication as ‘It was propelled by persons whose stock-in-trade is politics of blackmail now occasioned by the very serious progress made in respect of the on-going Forensic Audit of the NDDC.”
