THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has released activists Randy Peter and Precious Oruche, popularly known as Mama Pee, after they honoured an invitation by the anti-graft agency at its Abuja headquarters.
The pair regained their freedom shortly after midnight yesterday following several hours of questioning.
They were, however, directed to return to the commission’s office today, according to fellow activist Justice Cracks.
Justice Cracks, who accompanied the activists to the EFCC headquarters, disclosed the development in a post on X, stating that they arrived at the commission’s office at about 1:00 p.m. on July 15 and remained there for nearly 11 hours before being released.
He said both activists were asked to report back to the EFCC the following day, adding that they were safe and in good condition.
Justice Cracks also shared a video from the commission’s car park while waiting for the activists to conclude their meeting with EFCC officials.
Earlier, concerns had been raised over the duo’s whereabouts after Esther Umoh, who served as a campaign photographer during Peter Obi’s 2023 presidential campaign, revealed that the activists had not been released several hours after honouring the invitation.
Her post on X sparked speculation on social media that Randy Peter and Mama Pee had been arrested.
However, Justice Cracks later confirmed that both activists had been released and would return to the EFCC headquarters as directed.
The EFCC has not disclosed the reason for inviting the two activists.
