Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu said on Friday that he neither fell ill nor developed high blood pressure when he was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) during the week. The Senate number two man, in a statement by his Media Adviser, Uche Anichukwu, said that the report claiming that he fell ill during EFCC interrogation was untrue. “He reported at the EFCC on Wednesday, August 1, 2018, at 10am as scheduled, but informed them that he was not feeling well, a fact the EFCC doctor confirmed. “So, there was no interrogation whatsoever on Wednesday, let alone presentation of so-called additional “facts” that purportedly triggered his blood pressure. “The Office feels compelled by the mischief and orchestrated media trial to put the “facts” straight on this particular issue.
