According to the EFCC, Otse was invited “several times” to answer to a number of petitions filed with the Commission alleging involvement in concealed financial offences.
The anti-graft agency noted that all invites were made to “his known addresses and mediums of communication,” but were “repeatedly ignored.”
“The petitions pertain to grave allegations of financial malfeasance which cannot be ignored,” the Commission said.
While the agency acknowledged being aware of Otse’s online attacks on them, it claimed they had no influence on his detention.
The EFCC stated that any issues arising from those public comments would be handled by the competent law enforcement agencies.
The Commission further stated that a formal remand order was obtained for Otse’s imprisonment, and that he has now been granted administrative bail, subject to the fulfilment of the terms.
In the midst of increased online outrage, EFCC pleaded with Nigerians to avoid jumping into conclusions.
