The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has
arrested a former Minister of State for Power, Mohammed Wakil in his residence
in Abuja at the weekend.
He will be arraigned in the High Court of the Federal
Capital Territory (FCT) on Monday over some payments involving Power Holding
Company Limited (PHCN).
The anti-corruption agency had in June 2019 arraigned Wakil
and four others at the Federal High Court, Maiduguri, Borno State.
That case was for alleged collection of $115million from
former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, ahead of the
2015 presidential election.
Born on February 6, 1965, in Damboa Local Government Area of
Borno State, the law graduate from the University of Maiduguri, was Minister
during the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
He was a member of the National Assembly and Vice Chairman
of the People’s Democratic Party (North East).
Wakil was the Majority Leader of the House of
Representatives during the Fourth Republic.
