The Vice Chairman of First Guarantee Pensions Limited and a former member of the House of Representatives, Nze Chidi Duru , on Friday night, collapsed inside the cell at the Zone 2 Command of the police, Onikan in Lagos where he had been detained since Thursday. He has been moved from the emergency unit of the Police Medical Centre, Falomo,where he was rushed to, to a private ward.
Duru’s arrest, as gathered, was on the order of the Inspector-General of Police,Ibrahim Idris, following the accusation by the National Pension Commission(NPC) that the former lawmaker, in the company of some armed men in police uniform, stormed First Guarantee Pension office and ordered its management staff out.
They were alleged to have, thereafter, broken into the Financial Controller’s office and collected some documents belonging to the company, including a laptop containing confidential information. But in an interview with Duru, he described the claims as false, saying rather that he was paying for refusing to compromise to an alleged illegal request by NPC. Speaking from his hospital bed, Duru accused the police of being biased in the way they have been handling the matter.
