On Tuesday this week, officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission arrested Innocent Chukwuma, the founder of Innoson Motors at his Enugu residence.
#ICYMI: EFCC today arrested Innocent Chukwuma, popularly known by his company's name, INNOSON, following his refusal to honour invitation by the Commission having earlier jumped an administrative bail granted him. #Fraud pic.twitter.com/T1P7fg3vO2
— EFCC Nigeria (@officialEFCC) December 19, 2017
The EFCC claimed that Innoson staff tried to stop Chief Chukwuma’s arrest by the blocking his residence with trucks. The EFCC operatives were however able to arrest him eventually. The business man reportedly accused GTBank of being behind his arrest.
Innoson Motors' version of the arrest:
Innoson Vs GTB
Armed Police men firing live bullets and gunshots inside Dr Innocent Chukwuma's residence. Tens of factory workers critically wounded. @segalink @Omojuwa— Innoson Vehicles (@innosonvehicles) December 19, 2017
Unbelievable!!! EFCC officials slapped me and told me my husband was arrested because we are Igbo - Wife of Innoson Motors' MD pic.twitter.com/NXR45UwIdl

Nigerians reacted
EFCC had laid out its claim; Innoson has countered with information, GTB will share its own side and underneath all of this, some of us will FACT CHECK and hopefully lay out a map of events that covers facts, data, events, using the law/due process and not sentiments as framework https://t.co/Wmq1V4ScZv

GT Bank should tell us when they discovered this forged document. Was it before Innosons won damages of N6b against them or after.
EFCC should also tell us when they started investigating forgery. What is the job of the Special Fraud Unit.
Smells like Cow Dung
— Solakuti.com (@Solakutidotcom) December 20, 2017
The activities of @officialEFCC and @gtbank today in Enugu should be condemned by every Nigerian. Innoson motors is a pride of our nation. We must not frustrate them out of business on the alter of politics. #FreeInnoson

The American government bailed out Ford when they faced economic crisis. INNOSON should be our pride like KIA and Hyundai is to South Korea. We are unwittingly killing this business through our usual failed law enforcement agencies. The world is watching our dance of shame.

When you realize that the EFCC has arrested Innosson, but somehow, Babachir Lawal is a free man.
There is no correlation here by the way, just that one perpetuated fraud while the other has a case in court with a bank.
— NuBari (@Saatah) December 19, 2017
How can the same EFCC that has not arrested Babachir, a proven thief, or Maina who was given security, now go and arrest Innocent Chukwuma the founder of @innosonmotors, the only Nigerian manufacturing made in Nigeria cars? Is it a sin to be a 5 percenter in Buhari’s Nigeria?

And l want to ask you all tribalistic Kings/Queens...
Was the tribal also a problem when "Innoson" walked into GTBANK to get the load or it's now a tribal thing because they want the money back?🤔
How did we get here, people don't read anymore🤦♂️

This case between Innoson Motors and GTBank is a case of two business organisations and has nothing to do with the government.

This same INNOSON has several times attested to how this government is aiding his growth in the automobile manufacturing sector. Today, his issues with GTB, EFCC is now politicized. Is Innocent Chukwuma also of the PDP or was he not Igbo when PYO visited his factory?

Voice of the street
Last Sunday, popular Nigerian rapper, Olamide hosted thousands of music lovers at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere for the fourth edition of his "Olamide Live In Lagos (OLIC) concert.
To make the concert accessible to his fans on the street, the ticket sold for ₦ 1000 only. However, tales from Phyno's concert last week made intending attendees skeptical.
U people going for #OLIC4 today, stay WOKE. Some are there to harass, rape and steal.

Senator or video vixen?
This week, Kach -- Nigerian musician and son of Ibe Kachikwu, Minister of State, Petroleum Resources -- released the visuals to his song titled "Dino". The song, named after Senator Dino Melaye is about living a lavish lifestyle, one which the Senator is well known for. However, it doesn't end there, the Senator appeared the video.
Watch it below.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?sns=tw&v=jkvv2agydso&app=desktop

He allowed Kach to use his cars & houses for the videos.
