Former Anambra State governor and immediate past Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has been arrested in Abuja.
His former media aide, Fred Chukwulobe, confirmed the development in a statement on Wednesday night, clarifying that contrary to rumours circulating online, Ngige was not kidnapped but is currently in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Chukwulobe stated:
“Former Governor of Anambra State and immediate past Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, is with the EFCC. More details later.”
Ngige recently made headlines after his convoy was attacked by armed men in Anambra State. He was not in the vehicle at the time of the attack.
