Let me categorically state that I was not arrested neither was i detained by the police or any law enforcement agency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

I am in my house enjoying the goodness of God

I am a law abiding citizen and in my position as a member of the diplomatic society

I owe a higher duty to live above board in all I do, getting involved in crime and criminalities is not one of the things I can be involved in.

There is a world of difference between helping law enforcement agencies to effectively do their jobs and actually getting involved in crime."
