EFCC plans to arrest me next week — Obaseki

Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has stated that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is planning to arrest him after his tenure ends on November 14.

Speaking at the EdoBEST National Results-Sharing Session on Thursday in Abuja, Obaseki revealed he received information about the EFCC’s plan to arrest and detain him over alleged fraud.

He, however, asserted that he is not afraid of any arrest or investigation into his administration, attributing the petitions filed against him to individuals acting out of vendetta.

Obaseki mentioned that he would spend his time in EFCC custody conducting research, stressing that he has nothing to hide.
