I was never arrested by EFCC- Uche Ogah

The President, Masters Energy Group, Dr. Uche Ogah has denied reports making the rounds that he has been arrested and detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC over an oil deal with one Bridget Adeosun that went awry.

Addressing journalists, yesterday, Ogah described the report as “false, wicked and fabricated”. He said, “I was neither arrested, detained, nor under any investigation for any criminal charge whatsoever. The EFCC has a process of inviting anyone under investigation, either in writing or by inviting you through other means. That has not been done, as you can see me physically here”.

Recounting the genesis of the misunderstanding with Adeosun, Ogah said the woman met him sometime in 2011 through one member of his Staff for financial assistance in the procurement of import license for Premium Motor Spirit (PMS).
