Chief Executive
Officer of Capital Oil Nigeria Limited, Mr. Ifeanyi Ubah, Thursday
denied reports in the media of his arrest by the Department of State
Services (DSS).
An online report had
yesterday reported that Ubah had been arrested by the DSS over some scam
relating to oil deals with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC).
But speaking with
THISDAY, an aide to Ubah who spoke on condition of anonymity said:
“There was no iota of truth in the report that Ubah has been arrested by
the DSS.”
He added that at no time was Ubah arrested or invited by the DSS for questioning over deals with NNPC.
Efforts
by THISDAY to reach the DSS to confirm the story proved abortive as
official of the agency refused to speak on the issue.
