The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly arrested the Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi, over alleged money laundering involving an estimated N500 billion.
According to a report by cbinews.tv, operatives of the EFCC have arrested the Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi, over alleged money laundering offences involving about N500 billion.
A source within the anti-graft agency disclosed on Wednesday that Abdullahi was arrested in Abuja and is currently being held in EFCC custody while investigations continue.
“We have arrested the Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, Dr Mustapha Abdullahi, for money laundering offences. He was arrested and is currently in our custody. The money is to the tune of N500bn,” the source revealed.
