He said that he was surprised when his attention was drawn to news in the media that he was arrested in Lagos with a huge sum of money. He said he was neither arrested nor being to Lagos where he was alleged to have been arrested for while. Uba also said that he did not belong to the political party attributed to him in the story. When the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) contacted the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Lagos State Police Command, CSP Chike Oti on phone, she said that no police station had brought a case of arrest involving Sen. Ubah to her office. Uba, however, expressed regrets over the postponement of the presidential and the national assembly elections from Feb. 16 to Feb. 23 by INEC.
