Responding to the declaration, Iyamu maintained that he remained focused on his election, stressing that the commission had the right to continue with its investigation, Punch report.


According to Iyamu, “Am I under arrest? I have already explained my part. If they say I am still under probe, that is ok.

“But at least, you know I am not under arrest. I am not in court.

“So, if the say they are still investigating, they have the right to do that. I am not the EFCC; they have the right to continue their investigation.

“My friend, I am facing my election, please.”
