Why We Arrested Innoson Motors Chief – EFCC

BY AMOS DUNIA, ABUJA – A Nigerian industrialist, Chief Innocent Chukwuma, popularly known by his company’s name, INNOSON, was on Tuesday arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Chukwuma was picked up at his Savage Crescent, GRA, Enugu residence at about 11am.

The EFCC said that Chukwuma’s arrest followed his refusal to honour invitation by the Commission having earlier jumped an administrative bail granted him in a case being investigated by the Capital Market and Insurance Fraud Unit of the Commission’s Lagos office.

The anti-graft agency said rather than honour its invitation, Chukwuma mobilized six truckloads of thugs pretending to be staff of his company to his residence, where they manhandled EFCC operatives.

A statement by the Head, Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, said that it took reinforcement from the Enugu office of the EFCC to effect the arrest of the industrialist who is currently being grilled by a team of investigators.
