The Niger State Chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Tanko Beji, has been arrested by
operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Beji was reportedly invited to
EFCC’s office Abuja on Thursday, where he was detained after undergoing
interrogation.
It could not be confirmed why the
PDP boss was detained, but a source at the party’s office in Minna told
ThisDay, that it could be connected with the series of interviews granted the
media in which he (Beji) criticised the All Progressives Congress (APC)
administration in the state.
The party source said an APC
chieftain complained to “Abuja”, that Beji was using the media to “intimidate
and harass the APC administration in the state.
“It was on the strength of this complaint that
Tanko Beji was invited to Abuja for questioning by the EFCC,” the source said.

Shame of a Nation.
ReplyDeleteNo power. No security. Now no Unity even in self imposed economic recession, the president has even been missing. Yet hounding of political opponents is in opulence. Which corruption is really worse. The Continued disregard for existence of freedom of opposing views is far worse than any other. History will judge this present government harshly in deed. Today we are more divided than we were in the 1960s. More emphasis has been placed on discovering some currency in a perceived opponents put than making this nation great as it was before their entry. Let God arise and the enemies of the future generations of this country be scattered.
