The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Saturday arrested the Director General of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship campaign council, Dr. Cletus Tyokyaa.
He was arrested by the anti-graft operatives for being in possession of a N100,000 cash.
This was revealed by Governor Samuel Ortom while speaking to journalists shortly after voting in his Gbajimba home town in Guma LGA.
The governor said Mr Tyokyaa was arrested by the EFCC who found the cash in his possession.
Governor Ortom said, “I received report from the DG of our campaign that he had been arrested this morning by EFCC for having N100,000 on him. What is that? Are they the agent of destabilisation? It is a shame.
“Why should they pick up somebody because of N100,000? I want to tell the EFCC to release him immediately. I have more than N100,000 on me but I’m not buying votes and he was not buying votes.”
