Former Governor of Akwa Ibom State and Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio, was reportedly arrested on Friday by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
According to the findings, Akpabio was said to have been taken in by EFCC operatives at about 5.20 pm.
He was said to have been accompanied by a few aides and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Ricky Tarfa.
The report states that an aide to the former governor, who cannot be named because he is not authorised to speak on the matter revealed that Mr. Akpabio is currently being interrogated by top officials of the EFCC.
An EFCC source also stated to have confirmed the development.
“He was brought in at about 5.20 pm accompanied by a few aides and Mr. Rickey Tarfa,” source said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

When will EFCC pick the Ameachis, the Fayemis, the Fasolas of this world?
ReplyDeleteThis guy definitely went to midnight school. He can't spell two out of three names and they where serving governors in Nigeria for 8 years. So how does he demonstrate knowledge of ongoing issues in the country or states in question when as educated as he is, he doesn't even possess knowledge beyond the hearing of the names of the governors.
DeleteWhen your bad belle kills you
DeleteWhen APC is out of power.
DeleteSimply because they are not anonymous. Its the anonymous people like you they are picking up now. Besides pick them to do what? That A has not been arrested doesn't remove the fact that B should be if he too is corrupt. Stop this unnecessary wailing my friend.
DeleteThe Fashola's The Amaechi's, The Fayemi's and the rest are mere allegations and has all explained themselves to the Nigerian public, sometimes it is very difficult to believe when you are in the Opposition, I can remember that the EFCC Started with APC heavy weight like Kwankwaso, Muritala Nyako and the rest....if I can remember clearly Rotimi Amaechi has said take me to a constitutional court if you feel I am a thief.... and will prove to you that I am not.... please PDP government should return Rivers state oil wells back to Rivers and stop playing politics with it.....you should be surprise Y Nwike is not saying anything about it
DeleteBuhari will soon make a mess of himself if he is not careful with the way he's going with this his war on corruption.
ReplyDeleteThe belong to APC the group that can't be touched, Niaja politics if you ain't with the ruling party then you are in trouble
ReplyDeleteAnother witchhaunt anti corruption fight. What happens to the likes of Amaechi's that so many petitions have been written against them. What happens to d likes of Aregbesola's that could not pay salaries because of corruption. Two governors we all know that performed in their states are been accused, one is arrested, the other is left. Apc governors are innocent until proven by the court of law and EFCC looks d other way. The earlier this government is called back to track the better for us. The line this government is towing is getting clearer by the day. I make bold to say this fight is against political enemies. We are watching.
ReplyDeleteEFCC and GMB,this corruption war, is it suppose to be one sided. Because TINUBU is still working freely,likewise OBJ.
ReplyDeleteWhat evidence do you have against them? Send this to the EFCC instead of using social media to make noise.
ReplyDeleteYou guyshould complaining should wait for your time. When you have power. When you become president. When OBJ was the president he used his power very well. I remembered Ribadu. People complaint the fight was one sided. But Nigeria benefited in the long run. .. I keep wondering why GEJ does not do same. I mean use EFCC to track down all his corrupt political enemy; may be Nigeria would have benefited one way or the other. Guys what we are seeing now is one sided fight . But the question we should ask ourselves is are these people truly stolen public fund? .. The answer is YES....so let us support the government in this fight. .The other thives time will come soon
ReplyDeletesure if he (Goodluck) did, buhari would have been in jail for post election violence 2011 while the 2015 election was in progress!
DeleteOnly time will tell, APC or PDP we shall know...
