The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has dismissed reports suggesting that the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, was arrested over the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council scandal, insisting that he only honoured an invitation from investigators.
The anti-graft agency clarified this in a statement posted on its Facebook page on Tuesday, following reports that Gbajabiamila visited the commission’s headquarters in Abuja on Monday in connection with the ongoing investigation into the purported PFIPC.
In the statement, the ICPC said the Chief of Staff voluntarily appeared before investigators and was not arrested.
“The Commission confirms that the Chief of Staff’s visit was on the invitation of its investigators and consistent with its ongoing efforts to gather all relevant facts in the matter.
