The Chairman of Innoson
Group of Companies, Chief Innocent Chukwuma who was arrested by the EFCC
for alleged tax fraud has been released and he issued this press
release after he arrived home safely….
”May
I use this opportunity to express my gratitude to fellow countrymen who
stood by me in this period of my Illegal arrest by EFCC.
Firstly,
I want to thank Mr President, His Excellency, President Muhammadu
Buhari, GCFR for his believe in the rule of law. I thank also the
various State Governors who condemned my illegal arrest and fought to
see my release.
I also thank the distinguished members of the
National Assembly for their support in voicing out my illegal arrest,
the traditional rulers across the divide from the North to the South,
your support and contribution to my release is well noted. Thank you.
To
all the Media organizations, various human rights groups, the youths,
the #FreeInnoson social media crusaders and everybody who gave a voice
to condemn my illegal arrest, thank you all.
I still maintain
that my arrest was illegal, as there was never a period that EFCC under
the leadership of Ibrahim Magu invited me for any reason. In due time, I
will tell Nigerians the whole truth about this matter. I intend to work
faithfully with the EFCC on this alleged investigation so as to clear
my name which has been badly damaged, and I will follow up this so
called investigation to its logical conclusion.
Once again, thank
you my fellow Nigerians, with this high level of support and love
showered on me during this period of my travail, I reiterate my strong
resolve on the robust industrialization project of our dear nation,
which will make her truly great again. I thank you all once more for
your support”.
