Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are currently searching the Abuja residence of Shehu Sani, a former senator.
TheCable reports that the officials arrived at the residence located in Wuse 2, Abuja, around 3;30pm.
The anti-graft agency arrested Sani last week over alleged extortion.
Sani, who represented Kaduna
central senatorial district between 2015 and 2019, allegedly collected money
from Sani Dauda, owner of ASD Motors, promising to pass it on to Ibrahim Magu,
acting chairman of the anti-graft agency.
He also reportedly said he could
assist Dauda in influencing the outcome of some cases using his connection with
the chief justice of Nigeria and some other judges.
The CJN had distanced himself
from Sani, saying he has never had anything to do with the former senator.
