Segun Adebutu, a Lagos businessman and son of Kessington Adebutu, has said he was never detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in relation with an ongoing investigation into the nation’s betting industry.
He said he had only gone to the EFCC to represent the managing director of Premier Lotto, who was unavailable at the time to answer EFCC summons.“I was never invited to EFCC office by the EFCC operatives but voluntarily visited the office of the EFCC following a letter written to the managing director of Premier Lotto, a company in which the Adebutu family has business interest,” Mr Adebutu said in his letter. “The managing Director was not available at the period to honour the invitation.
“The purpose of writing this letter to you is to put the facts correctly to you with the hope that you will be kind enough to correct the misleading story touching on my so-called detention at the EFCC office. Multiple EFCC sources had told this medium that the leadership of Premier Lotto and those of some other betting entities were summoned by the tax fraud department of the EFCC.Mr Kashamu, who is also into the lotto business, accused players in the betting industry of shortchanging the Nigerian government.
