According to him, the activists were instructed to return to the EFCC headquarters on Thursday, July 16, as part of the ongoing process.

Earlier in the day, concerns had grown over their prolonged stay at the commission after social media posts suggested they had not been released several hours after honouring the invitation.

The situation fuelled speculation online that the activists had been arrested before Justice Cracks later confirmed that they had been released.

As of the time of filing this report, the EFCC had not issued any official statement explaining the reason for inviting the two activists or the nature of its inquiry.
