The state Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, said the duo reported at the commission, following a report that a Federal High Court ordered their arrest.
In a statement, Fanwo said: “Despite not receiving an official invitation, they decided to voluntarily report at the headquarters of the commission in Abuja.
“We have not been told the specific details of the allegations against them, but they may not be unconnected to the ongoing investigations regarding some present and former government officials.’’
It had been reported earlier that Hudu and Oricha turned themselves in to the EFCC over corruption allegations.
The statement added: “The officials reported as law-abiding citizens of Nigeria to further demonstrate that the Government of Kogi State has nothing to hide and will always open her books to lawful investigations.
“We hope that the EFCC will respond to the patriotic action of the officials by remaining professional in conducting their investigations.
“As a government, we are always prepared to cooperate with anti-graft agencies to prove our transparency and retain the confidence of our development partners who have consistently given us awards in recognition of our unflinching transparency, accountability and probity.”
