Re: arbitrary arrest of Innocent Chukwuma – Chairman /CEO Innoson Motors: a sabotage to economic / entrepreneur development in Nigeria

The Igbo National Council (INC) have read and followed the story of the arbitrary arrest of Innocent Chukwuma – Chairman /CEO Innoson Motors by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) without formal official invitation by the commission.

Since we heard about the sad news, INC has made several contacts with prominent Igbo elites and major stakeholders in Nigeria to sample their opinions on the matter.

INC wishes to reiterate that Innocent Chukwuman’s arrest was ill motivated and bone out an orchestrated conspiracy by a political cabal  in collaboration with the management of Guarantee Trust Bank (GTB) to intimidate the Chairman / CEO of Innoson Motors.

Consequent upon the above, INC therefore call on the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to unconditionally release Innocent Chukwuma within the next forty (48) hours from now. Failure to release Innocent Chukwuma within the stipulated time frame, INC will commence a nationwide campaign to call on the Nigerians of Igbo extraction to close their account with the Guarantee Trust Bank (GTB).
