Col. Ojogbane Adegbe, former ADC to the former President Goodluck Jonathan, who was recently reported to have been picked up by the Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has denied rumours and subsequent reactions caused by the headlines claiming his revelation about the previous administration would shock and burn the country.
Col. Adegbe cleared the air concerning his recent visit to the EFCC claiming it had nothing to do with the controversial arms fund. He further demanded a public apology from the Sun Publishing Limited management for defaming and dragging his hard-earned name in the mud.
In a letter by the former ADC’s solicitor, Chief Ogwu Onoja, SAN, he cleared the air in details as concerning his clients purpose at the EFCC. He said; “To set the records straight, Col Adegbe was not arrested by EFCC as claimed by your newspaper. It is known fact that. Col Adegbe has been in the UK for studies having been released by the Nigerian Army to do so.
“The EFCC wrote the military authority to invite our client for questioning with respect to an ongoing investigation to clarify certain allegations made against him. The military authority invited him back to Nigeria, which he willingly came in and reported to the office of the provost marshal in Abuja on Wednesday 10th February 2016. Due to his late arrival and the inability of the Army to complete their documentation, he was asked to report to the Garrison Mess in Mogadishu Cantonment in line with military tradition till the next day. Upon completion of the necessary paper work, he was excorted to the EFCC where he wrote his statement and was interrogated.”
