Innoson’s CEO, Chukwuma speaks from EFCC custody


The Chief Executive Officer, CEO, of Innoson group of companies, Innocent Chukwuma has opened up on his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Chukwuma was arrested by the anti-graft agency on Tuesday morning.

Chukwuma said that the EFFC was being used by Guaranty trust bank, GTB, to intimidate him.

In a statement from his detention, made available to reporters, Chukwuma said that the Bank owed him an undisclosed sum of money which a court had ruled in his favour.

He said, “But instead of the Bank to pay me my money, they are using EFCC to intimidate me.”

However, a representative of the EFCC, Mr. Chris Oluka, told newsmen that Chukwuma put up resistance against arrest.

“He did put up some resistance by using some trucks to block our way to his residence but we finally arrested him.”
