Nigeria’s former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, was arrested and detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Abuja.
Wilson Uwujaren, the spokesperson of the commission confirmed this in a brief made available on Sunday.
Uwujaren said that Saraki was invited on Saturday for questioning over allegations of corruption and money laundering.
According to him, the former senate president was currently in the custody of the commission for the continuation of interrogation.
The invitation and detention of Saraki for interrogation comes days after a former Nasarawa State Governor Tanko Al-Makura and his wife, Mairo, were invited and interrogated.
The commission had invited Mr Al-Makura and the wife over alleged breach of public trust and misappropriation of billions of naira by his administration.
