The former Chief of Staff to Governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu State, Mrs Ifeoma Nwobodo has denied a media report claiming that she had been arrested by the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC).
A statement signed by the Coordinator of the Deaconess (Mrs) Ifeoma Nwobodo Campaign Organization, Hon. Eddie Nnaji, described the report as totally unfounded and mischievous.
He stressed that the ICPC had not even invited Mrs Nwobodo much less arresting her, adding that the false report was clearly the handiwork of Nwobodo’s political foes working in concert with the reporter.
Mr Nnaji said, “That report that Mrs Nwobodo was arrested by the ICPC is unfounded, baseless and downright mischievous.
“Indeed, it is clear to us that it was the handiwork of her desperate political foes who have been in the habit of inventing and planting false stories about her in their desperate but futile bid to dampen her overwhelming popularity among her people.
“It baffles us also that the journalist descended to the unimaginable level of outright fabrication and dissemination of such falsehood over some filthy lucre”.
The Campaign Cordinator urged the public to discountenance the report because Nwobodo was neither invited nor arrested as claimed, adding that no such antics would distract her from actualizing her senatorial ambition.
