Commission (EFCC) detectives yesterday arrested former Imo State Governor
Achike Udenwa over the disbursement of a huge sum of money during the 2015
presidential election.
Out of the N4billion withdrawn
from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), N2.5 billion was paid into the accounts
of six chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), including Udenwa, and
the Goodluck Support Group (GSG).
As of last night, Udenwa was
still being detained at the Lagos State office of the anti-graft agency, which
has launched a manhunt for a former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi
Fani-Kayode. Of the six people implicated in
the scandal, only a former Minister of Finance, Mrs. Nenadi Usman, has been
grilled by detectives.
The details of how the cash was
disbursed are: Fani-Kayode (N840million); Goodluck Support Group (N320million);
Achike Udenwa and Viola Onwuliri (N350million); Nenadi Usman (N140million); Olu
Falae(N100m) and Okey Ezenwa (N100million).
