Former Rivers State Head of Service, George Nwaeke, has denied reports that he was kidnapped and forced to address the press yesterday.
Nwaeke insisted that he was in Abuja to report himself and event in Rivers State to security agencies.
Yesterday, the former HoS in Rivers State had made damning claims against Governor Sim Fubara.
Shortly afterwards, Nwaeke’s wife had declared him missing, stressing that his whereabouts were unknown.
She suggested in a phone conversation with Fubara that Nweke might have been kidnapped and forced to make the claims against the governor.
However, a video which surfaced this morning showed Nweke claiming to have lodged at Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.
According to Nwaeke, he would be visiting all the headquarters of security agencies in Abuja to report issues of Rivers State that makes him sick.
He said: “My name is Frank Nwaeke and I’m in Transcorp in Abuja. I came in here this morning from Port Harcourt to meet the security agencies to report myself and things that happened in the state that is making me to feel sick.
“Actually, I was the Head of Service until Monday when I resigned because of the things that are happening.
“After the press interview I granted, I just saw a video of my wife trending, where they went to feed her with all kinds of fallacies that I have been kidnapped.
“I want to clear this that I’m not kidnapped, I’m in Abuja, this is Transcorp Hotel where I’m lodging. They told her I was kidnapping and they wrote a script for her to say all sorts of things.
“I want to put this straight, I’m the head of Service and I’m on oath; my wife does not know what happens in my office – it’s only my domestic or social matters that we discuss.
“I want to clear the air that I’m safe and fine, I’m in Abuja; and by tomorrow morning, I’m going to security agencies to report myself.
“My coming to Abuja was based on the fact that Abuja is where all the headquarters of security agencies are housed. I came here and I think I’m safe to make this report here.”
