Ike Ekweremadu, deputy senate
president, is currently at the head office of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFFC),
PREMIUM TIMES is reporting.
He reportedly arrived at the
anti-graft agency’s office in Abuja around 9am.
“He is currently at the
interrogation room,” the newspaper quoted a source as saying.
“We have some questions for him
bordering on corruption but we do not know yet when he would be released, we
will know this by 5pm.”
The development comes less than
24 hours after the deputy senate president said his hands were clean.
Last week, EFCC operatives laid a
siege to his residence, preventing him from going to the national assembly.
He had accused the federal
government of witch-hunt, saying he was being targetted because of the position
he is holding.
Ekweremadu is the highest elected
official of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
