Nnamdi Okonkwo, the former managing director of Fidelity Bank Plc, has denied reports that he was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, or EFCC.
Meanwhile, the EFCC has yet to comment to the report of Okonkwo's reported arrest.
"I cannot be in my bedroom and someone somewhere would be saying, EFCC has arrested me and that I have been in custody' of the anti-graft commission for days," Okonkwo told The Source magazine today.
According to some sources, Okonkwo was arrested by the EFCC for his role in the transfer of $153.3 million from the Nigerian National Petroleum Commission to former oil minister Diezani Alison-Madueke. Okonkwo categorically refuted the story.
"I've been having fun with my family in addition to going to the gym" to stay in shape. "I've also had a number of meetings with my new boss in the previous few days."
So I'm not sure what Premium Times is saying. "I can't be in EFCC custody and expect them to let me speak to you," he explained.
Okonkwo was selected as the new CEO of First Bank Nigeria Holdings Plc three weeks ago. He will take office on January 1, 2022.
