Kalu not arrested by EFCC – Aide

Ruby Obinna, the media aide of a former Governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu, has dismissed the news making the rounds that her boss has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Obinna said the publication was not only nasty but meant to sent wrong signals to Kalu’s numerous followers, families and associates.
This was contained in a statement signed by Obinna on Tuesday.
The statement reads in full: “Our attention has been drawn to a disingenuous report in some online portals that Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu has been arrested in Abuja over the matter that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has instituted against him.
“We wish to state downright that the publication was not only nasty, but also intended to send a wrong signal to millions of friends, followers, family members and business associates of our principal that are around the world.
“We believe that the makers of that lie were selfish, insecure and intimidated by the tremendous support and goodwill from far and near that Kalu enjoys. The abhorrence of Kalu by the minute mischief-makers was because of the upright man he is.
“We hereby call on the public to forget-about the deceptive information as Kalu is going about his normal business and had said that he had nothing to fear in the case with the EFCC.”
