BREAKING: Former Anambra Governor Chris Ngige Arrested in Abuja, Confirms Aide
“Former Anambra State Governor and ex-Minister of Labour, Dr. Chris Ngige, has been arrested by the EFCC in Abuja. His media aide debunks kidnapping rumours and confirms he is in custody. Read the full details.”
Former Anambra State Governor and immediate past Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, has been arrested in Abuja and is currently in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The development was confirmed on Wednesday night in a statement obtained by DAILY POST and signed by Ngige’s former media aide, Fred Chukwulobe.
Chukwulobe dismissed widespread rumours circulating on social media alleging that Ngige had been kidnapped, clarifying instead that the former minister is “with the EFCC.”
According to him, “Former Governor of Anambra State and immediate past Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, is with the EFCC. More details later.”
Ngige has been in the headlines in recent weeks following an attack on his convoy by armed men in Anambra State. The former minister was not in the vehicle at the time of the incident, although the assault heightened security concerns around him.
Further details on his arrest and the circumstances surrounding his detention are expected to emerge.
