EFCC arrest Chris Ngige, former Anambra Governor
Chris Ngige is facing yet another tough time this Yuletide season. Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), armed to the teeth, stormed his residence at Justice Mohammed Bello Road in Abuja.
Rumours first flew around that the former Anambra State governor was kidnapped. But his media aide, Fred Chukwuelobe, has cleared the air.
Ngige’s route to power has been unusually uphill and filled with thorns. During his brief reign as the governor of Anambra State, he was kidnapped inside Government House by gunmen, constantly humiliated by Ubah family, and finally sacked by Court of Appeal.
Even as he later became senator and minister for Labour and Productivity, Ngige had continued to suffer in the system.
Weeks ago, his convoy was attacked. Although Ngige was not in it, the assailants succeeded in killing one of the Senator’s guard while injuring several others.
EFCC was yet to make public statement but it’s clear that Ngige is in for trouble.
