Senator Kwankwaso, a former Defence Minister, described the petition as politically motivated and concocted by political opponents who’re bent on embarrassing him, saying there was no iota of reality within the allegations contained within the petition.

“The hearsay of my arrest is fake and baseless. As a legislation abiding and revered citizen, I personally visited the fee on Saturday to be able to clear my identify and precisely that’s what occurred.

“I met with them, the officers of EFCC and instructed them that I got here to clear my identify over a petition written since 2015 towards me. I supplied solutions to all of the questions raised by the officers,” the previous governor clarified.
