Abuja – The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday, confirmed the arrest and detention of two former governors, Ikedi Ohakim of Imo and his Adamawa counterpart, Murtala Nyako.

Mr Wilson Uwujaren, Spokesman of the EFCC confirmed the detention in an interview in Abuja.

Uwujaren, who said Nyako’s son Abdul-Aziz was also in the custody of the commission, added that the three suspects were arrested on Tuesday.

He said the detention was ahead of likely arraignment before a Federal High Court in Abuja.

Ohakim was on June 18, arrested and interrogated by the EFCC over allegation of corruption during his tenure as the governor of Imo state.
Nyako and his son were accused of criminal conspiracy, stealing, abuse of office and money laundering.

Another shadow chasing adventure, with a familiar end; The case(s) will be striked out for want of dilligent prosecution by Efcc and the accuse discharged ...

EFCC our dear ex governor T.A. Orji, jumped bail in 2007, and thereafter proceeded to commit some of the brazen financial recklessness and embezzlement even by Nigerian standard.
When are you people going to pick him up for questioning? Lest I forget, he is now a "Distinguished Senator" of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
