The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the February 23 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, on Saturday said 24 operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission arrested his son-in-law, Alhaji Babalele Abdullahi.

He said Abdullahi, who is also finance director of Atiku Group of Companies, was arrested after the EFCC officials in two vehicles, an 18-seater Toyota bus with registration Abuja CS 522 RSH and a Hilux van, had invaded the Maitama residence of his son-in-law at about 8.30am.

A statement by Atiku’s media adviser, Mr Paul Ibe, said the EFCC officials were, however, not given access into the house until Abdullahi’s lawyers arrived.

He said, “In a desperate move to have Atiku Abubakar concede and congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari, officials of the EFCC at about 8.30am today (Saturday) invaded the Maitama residence of Babalele. They were, however, not given access into the house until his lawyers arrived.

“The EFCC agents numbering about two dozens came in two regular vehicles, an 18-seater Toyota bus (with registration Abuja CS 522 RSH) and a Hilux van. They came with a search warrant to search the house and the office of Babalele and found nothing incriminating.

“They then proceeded to his office at Oakland Centre in Maitama and found nothing incriminating there. However, they took away some documents of landed property. Not done, the EFCC officials stormed his Wuse residence where they again found nothing incriminating after the search.

“Afterwards, Babalele was taken away to the EFCC office in Wuse to make a statement alongside Mr Lawan Ayuba. It was gathered that the petition relied upon to invade the residence and the office of Babalele was authored by a brother of the wife of President Buhari.”

Ibe stated that as a law-abiding citizen, Atiku recognised the constitutional role of the EFCC and indeed any other agency of the government to carry out investigations, but would not be cowed by any attempt to blackmail him into mortgaging his mandate.

The statement reported Atiku as assuring Nigerians that under no circumstance would he mortgage what he called the mandate of Nigerians, which he claimed was freely expressed on February 23.

Atiku shouldn't be intimated into not going to court if he feels the election was rigged. It is his right and that should be respected.

The next four years will reposition the country for a lot of future wars that will destroy it.

At least election is over, you will soon be arrested by that efcc. Useless donkey.

wati him do

APC knows and they are trying to bully him into accepting defeat

Cheap blackmail. Atiku must go to court. Meanwhile when will efcc investigate this

To all apc supporters and to buhari , see you in court soon

What I would say is " Since igbos have decided not to give almajiri's money.... those Alhajis should vex and state paying their people....in fact I want the rich men from each regions to fight themselves, so they can all start paying their people....

APC wants to turn Nigeria into a one party state...

Buhari is a disaster. He is scared that the court will soon sack him and Atiku will take back his mandate willfully given to him by the majority of Nigerians

Igbo people


That's how they called atiku president elect till he lost


Now they have started, I know that this story is propaganda at it's finest

Buhari is a jihadist...


We are back to 1983..

A dictator is in power

What should we do now ? When you were stealing the money and you son in law was enjoying in maitama mansion did you cry out ?

He's a big thief just like you. You must vomit stolen wealth by fire by force.

Even those that voted for Buhari will cry in this Next Level, they will wish they didn’t.

With someone like Oshiomhole around Buhari Nigerians are in trouble.

Oshiomhole pretended to be a saint in his 1st term as Edo State governor, he came back the 2nd term and dealt with the edo people.

Buhari wasn’t good in his first time, Nigerians should expect worse in his 2nd term as he takes Nigerians on a ride to his Next Level of poverty.

Your son-in-law get plenty money be dat
