Read What Lai Mohammed Said About Olisa Metuh's Arrest

Nigeria's Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Lai Mohammed, on Wednesday reacted to the arrest of Olisa Metuh, National publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. 
According to CHANNELS TV, the minister distanced President Muhammadu Buhari from the arrest. He said the President is not directly involved in the operations of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. 

“I think the first point to make is that this government is not micro-managing any of the anti-graft agencies. I know for a fact that they don’t contact the President or anybody before they do their job. I think the media also has to do more than they are doing right now, they should investigate these allegations and also make their independent judgment about it.

“Honestly, if the EFCC or ICPC says that they are able to trace certain amount of money to my account, I don’t want you to believe it, I want you to also ask for proof; do your investigation.
“I can assure you that this government, no functionary in government micromanages or directs the EFCC or ICPC on who to arrest and who not to arrest”, he said.
