The Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Dr Samuel Ogbuku, has dismissed claims that he was arrested in connection with an alleged coup plot.
In a statement on Thursday, Ogbuku stated that he is currently attending the Commission’s meeting with Commissioners, Permanent Secretaries and Directors in Port Harcourt, televised live on Arise TV, during whch he urged participants to design and implement frameworks that would impact the future of the Niger Delta.
Some sections of the media had reported that the NDDC Managing Director was arrested in connection with an alleged coup plot.
“We woke up yesterday to see some fabricated social media reports that Dr Sam Ogbuku was arrested. And we asked, for what? Well, there’s the ongoing agricultural summit in Port Harcourt, where the managing director spoke live this morning, and it was carried live on two national television channels. We hope that this will put the purveyors of fake news to shame.
On Wednesday, former Bayelsa State governor and former Nigerian minister Timpriye Sylva confirmed that his residence in Abuja was raided.
He, however, denied any involvement in the alleged coup plot.
The military and Nigerian government have repeatedly dismissed the alleged coup plot rumours.
