A statement by EFCC’s Spokesman, Mr. Dele Oyewale made available to Vanguard on Monday, said Ugwuh was arrested alongside Chief Geoffrey Ekenma at No.2, Musa Yar Adua Way, New Owerri, Imo State, following a petition to the Commission from a new generation bank on the alleged fraud perpetrated through a company, Ebony Agro Industries Ltd., linked to the ex-Minister.

“The suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded,” EFCC said on Monday.
