00:00:12,320 –> 00:00:16,600
a program. EFCC said it carried out the arrest after

5
00:00:16,679 –> 00:00:20,280
the journalist failed to honor its invitation over allegation of

6
00:00:20,320 –> 00:00:25,079
OPONSI scheme met against her, but the station said EFCC

7
00:00:25,320 –> 00:00:28,719

said all efforts to allow the presenter finished her program

13
00:00:51,600 –> 00:00:55,880
proved abortive as the EFCC operatives insisted on going away

14
00:00:55,920 –> 00:00:59,840
with the suspect. The management of over ninety four point

15
00:00:59,840 –> 00:01:02,880
five five FM said in a statement that the EFCC

16
00:01:03,079 –> 00:01:07,400
agents invented the studio around five forty five pm possibly

17
00:01:07,519 –> 00:01:12,120
took away some staff and the presenter alongside season communication equipment.

18
00:01:13,000 –> 00:01:16,159
The station assured its listeners that it is addressing the

19

the live program prime time forstfully abducted our presenters and

27

and for whatever the reasons, Urban Radio management stated. Sahara

34
00:02:18,080 –> 00:02:22,960
reporters stated that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC

35
00:02:23,479 –> 00:02:27,199
has clarified the red on Urban ninety four point five FM,

36
00:02:27,360 –> 00:02:31,759
a popular radio station in Enugu State. Speaking with Sahara

37
00:02:31,759 –> 00:02:36,120
reporters in a telephone chart, then Oyoa Lee the commissions

38
00:02:36,159 –> 00:02:41,000
held of media and publicity serves the record strait. According

39
00:02:41,000 –> 00:02:45,319
to Oyowa Lee, the EFS cs Enogodzonal command only went

40
00:02:45,400 –> 00:02:48,280
to the station to arrest a journalist involved in the

41
00:02:48,360 –> 00:02:52,080
Ponzi fraud scheme after refusing to honor an invitation by

42
00:02:52,120 –> 00:02:57,960
the commission. The suspect, according to him, whose name wasn’t disclosed,

43
00:02:58,439 –> 00:03:03,360
was taken into custody, meant a statement, and was released immediately.

44
00:03:04,280 –> 00:03:07,479
Ye only emphasized that nothing was removed from the station,

45
00:03:08,039 –> 00:03:13,080
contradicting earlier reports of since equipment. He said, on the

46
00:03:13,120 –> 00:03:17,319
reports that our people EFCC moved to the neutral and

47
00:03:17,439 –> 00:03:21,960
cuttered their equipment. There is nothing like that. What happened

48
00:03:22,039 –> 00:03:25,240
is this, The fellow that was arrested is a suspect

49
00:03:25,319 –> 00:03:28,599
in Ponzi scheme where over one go three people were defrauded,

50
00:03:28,680 –> 00:03:31,599
and unfortunately the fellow happened to be a staff of

51
00:03:31,719 –> 00:03:36,639
that radio station. Investigative held. They have written later to

52
00:03:36,759 –> 00:03:39,639
her and all of that book. She did not respond

53
00:03:39,719 –> 00:03:42,960
and because of the severity of the matter the number

54
00:03:43,039 –> 00:03:47,639
of people involved. Just imagine somebody a journalist getting involved

55
00:03:47,680 –> 00:03:51,680
in Ponzi scheme. So they had to arrest her, brought

56
00:03:51,719 –> 00:03:54,199
her to our office to make a statement and the

57
00:03:54,319 –> 00:03:59,560
released her immediately. No equipment was taken, nothing was taken.

58
00:04:00,080 –> 00:04:03,240
It is normal way of our work. It is unfortunate

59
00:04:03,319 –> 00:04:06,639
that she is a journalist, but whether a journalist or whoever,

60
00:04:07,080 –> 00:04:10,560
a suspect is a suspect. I am even worrying that

61
00:04:10,800 –> 00:04:15,960
media staff would engage in such kind of thing sas

62
00:04:16,079 –> 00:04:20,360
war Neede bringin, you bring me in a more digital way.
