The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday stated that it was not against the arrest of its members accused of various forms of crimes.
It, however, called for fairness and transparency in the investigation and trial processes.
Reacting to Raymond Dokpesi’s arrest over alleged involvement in financial deals with the office of ex-National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki, (rtd) PDP spokesman, Olisa Metuh, told Daily Trust that the party was completely in support of President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption war.
He said people arrested should not be presumed guilty until after investigation.
PDP said it would not defend or exonerate anyone, adding that government must prove the charges it had filed.
“We have made it clear that we are completely in support of the anti-corruption drive. We are not saying anything against it, all we are saying is let it not be as if people have already been presumed guilty,” he said.
