In view of the above, you are kindly requested to report and interview the undersigned at 5, Fomela Street Off Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent II, Abuja on Tuesday 24th July 2018 at 10:00 am prompt. “This request is made in pursuant to section 38 (1) of the Economic and Financial Crimes (Establishment) Act, 2004,” the letter read in part.

This commission in the letter said Ekeweremadu is being invited because his name featured prominently in the case which they are currently investigating, hence the invitation to obtain certain clarifications from him

This commission is investigating the above mentioned case in which your name featured prominently and the need to obtain certain clarifications from you became imperative.” It went further to say that, “In view of the above, you are kindly requested to report and interview the undersigned at 5 Fomela street, Off Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent, Wuse II Abuja on Tuesday 24th July, 2018 at 10am prompt.
