A former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Obong Godswill Akpabio, on Saturday returned to the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in Abuja.
Akpabio’s return to the EFCC office was to complete the statement he started making to the Commission on Friday.
It was gathered that Akpabio left his Abuja residence for the EFCC headquarters at about 10am and returned around 8pm.
He was said to have completed the statement he started writing on Friday.
Akpabio had on Friday arrived at the EFCC office at about 5:30pm and left at about 9pm.
He was grilled in connection with an allegation of stealing N108.1 billion from the coffers of the Akwa Ibom State Government.
The allegation was levelled against Akpabio, who is now the representative of Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District in the National Assembly, by a lawyer, Leo Ekpenyong.
Akpabio was alleged to have laundered part of the money and acquired several properties in Lagos, Abuja and outside the country.
Akpabio’s spokesman, Jackson Udom, told The Eagle Online on Saturday that the former governor only went back tot eh EFCC office to complete his statement.
Udom said his boss has nothing to fear or fret about as the petitioner only wrote a fiction story in his petition, which was addressed to President Muhammadu Buhari and the EFCC.
