EFCC arrests former PDP acting chairman, Uche Secondus

The immediate past acting Chairman of PDP, Uche Secondus,
has been arrested by operatives of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. A statement by PDP's
national legal adviser, Victor Kwon, says Secondus is being
accused of illegally receiving a number of buses and
demands that the buses be returned. The statement in part
reads;
"The oppressive and unfair treatments against its key
leaders by the Federal Government. The party alerts
the nation that the arrest and detention of its Deputy
National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is
part of the grand script by the APC-led Federal
Government to decimate the opposition,". The
statement alleged that there were plans by EFCC to
"arrest and detain the Deputy Senate President,
Senator Ike Ekweremadu, Senate Minority Leader,
Senator Godswill Akpabio and other leaders of the
party on imaginary charges. Indeed, intelligence
available to the party shows that the Federal
Government, using its various agencies, is bent on
destroying any opposition to the ruling party as all
indications show that the government is more
interested in humiliating the PDP than fighting
corruption'.
