The arrests, it was learnt, were part of investigations into the $115m (N23bn) allegedly disbursed by a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, during the build-up to the 2015 polls.
This is just as Senator Saidu Kumo, who is an ex-aide to the sacked PDP Chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff; and a former PDP Chairman in Gombe, Paloma Nuhu, returned N2m each from their share of the money.
Some of those arrested include:
Ex-Minister of Power, Mohammed Wakil (Borno); ex-Minister of Science/Technology, Alhaji Abdu Bulama (Yobe); and the PDP chairman, Mr. Joel Madaki (Adamawa). The accountant of the Gombe State Government House, Mr. Mohammed Balbaya, was also arrested for the Diezani bribe.
Explaining the reason for the arrests, a reliable source at the EFCC told Punch that the suspects handled as much as N450m each for the Multi-Billion loot.
