Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State, Tochukwu Okorie, has denied being arrested by the Nigeria Police, Federal Capital Territory Command on Thursday.
Okorie made the clarification following a report by an online publication, suggesting that the FCT Police Command arrested him over alleged forgery of nomination forms.
According to the publication, the arrest followed a petition by a lawyer, Silas Onu, who allegedly accused Okorie of forging nomination forms which brought him (Okorie) to power as the chairman of the PDP in Ebonyi State.
However, the PDP chieftain vehemently denied the said arrest, saying the report was totally untrue.
The Ebonyi PDP chairman, however, said he was not detained by the police and was duly elected to serve.
