The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission may have arrested a special assistant to the embattled minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke
According to Punch News, the Diezani’s aide was ýpicked up by operatives of the commission at Banana Island in Lagos.
The source said the aide had been with operatives of the EFCC for a few days and had made some statements.
Diezani has four personal assistants and it is not clear if more of them will be quizzed in relation with the ongoing probe.
“You know that the EFCC operatives are really going after Diezani’s aides. One of them was picked up at Banana Island on Tuesday. He has been singing like a bird. The man has made useful information,” the source said.
When one of our correspondents contacted the Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, for his comment, he said that he did not know anything about the investigation.
Since the UK police started collaborating with the EFCC in the ongoing investigation into the oil deals under Diezani, the EFCC has come up with a policy not to comment on it.
It was gathered that it was in line with the official policy of the UK agency to keep everything secret about those being probed..
