EFCC asks duo to return
Justice Cracks said Randy Peter and Mama Pee were asked to return to the commission’s office on Thursday, July 16.
Earlier, concerns had grown after Esther Umoh, a former campaign photographer for Peter Obi, revealed that the activists had remained at the EFCC office for several hours after honouring the invitation.
The prolonged meeting led to speculation that they had been arrested.
Justice Cracks, however, later confirmed that both activists had been released and said that “for now, everything is fine”.
The EFCC has yet to publicly disclose the reason for inviting the activists.
