The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has
arrested Muhammed Audu, son of a former governor of Kogi state, over alleged
fraud.
The anti-graft agency disclosed this in a series of tweets
on Thursday, saying investigations revealed that the suspect used two of his
companies, Mediterranean Hotels Limited and Mediterranean Sports, to divert the
funds, which he could not account for.
EFCC said the suspect will soon be charged to court as soon
investigations are concluded.

Muhammed Audu sought to replace his late father in the 2015
election but the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) settled for
Yahaya Bello, the incumbent governor.
His father was leading in the election but died before the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced the official
results.
