The
former Senator who represented Kaduna Central in the last senate, Shehu Sani, has
been arrested by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC).
Mr
Sani was arrested for allegedly collecting money in the name of the EFCC acting
chairman, Ibrahim Magu.
A
source familiar with the arrest told our “Premium Times” that Mr Sani was outed
following a leak that he collected money from a popular Kaduna businessman to
give to the EFCC boss, Mr Magu and following a conflict between him and his
former in-law, a famous Kaduna car dealer, Sani Dauda, who was said to have
been approached by Mr Sani to help him get EFCC to dig up alleged crimes of his
estranged in-law.
A
top source at the EFCC, who asked for anonymity to Premium Times, as he was not
authorised to speak on the matter, said Mr Sani collected $10,000 from Mr Dauda
but returned the money to Mr Dauda after the deal had leaked and the
businessman was invited by EFCC to make a statement.
According
to the EFCC source, Mr Sani tried hard to evade invitation and arrest by EFCC
operatives as he switched off his known telephone lines for days and was later
tracked down to a location in Abuja and was picked up about an hour ago.
The
EFCC official, however, said operatives would now investigate if Mr Sani had
been using Mr Magu’s name in this way, or if this was an isolated case.
