In a video recorded on Saturday morning, George Nwaeke clears the air on his whereabouts, firmly denying allegations of abduction and explaining that he voluntarily traveled to Abuja to report himself to security agencies.
“I want to clear this up. I was not kidnapped. I am in Abuja. This is the Transcorp Hotel where I am lodging. They told my wife I was kidnapped, and she was crying. They made her say all sorts of things,” Nwaeke stated.
He further clarified that his wife had been misinformed and was unaware of his work-related issues, as he never discusses official matters with her.
“My coming to Abuja was because this is where security agencies are headquartered. I feel safe here to make my report and allow investigations to proceed.”
Prior to his disappearance, Nwaeke had accused Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara of supporting Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed’s 2027 presidential ambition and allegedly backing militants to attack oil facilities and state assets.
Governor Fubara Fires Back: ‘Nwaeke Has Been Compromised’
In response to Nwaeke’s claims, Governor Siminalayi Fubara dismissed his accusations, suggesting that the former Head of Service might have been financially influenced or pressured into making false statements.
“The truth is that Dr. Nwaeke has been compromised, and whatever he is saying is only aimed at fulfilling his promise to those who may have paid or coerced him to lie against me,” Governor Fubara stated in a late-Friday press release.
To back up his claim, the governor released alleged screenshots of conversations between Nwaeke and his Chief of Staff, Ederson Ehie.
