The Economic and Financial Crimes has
arrested the former Special Adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on
Media, Dr. Reuben Abati.
The source stated that the former presidential spokesman was still writing his statement as of the time of filing this story on Monday.
He could not, however, confirm whether
the prominent journalist was being quizzed in connection with the 2015
campaign funds of the Peoples Democratic Party or not.
The source doubted if the former Chairman, Editorial Board of The Guardian, would be allowed to go home on Monday.
“The EFCC has arrested the former
Adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Media, Dr. Reuben Abati,”
said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
“The man is still writing his statement.
Honestly, I cannot tell you what they are holding him for. I am not
sure if it has to do with the campaign funds of the PDP in the last
elections.”
When our correspondent made efforts to
get the spokesman, for the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, for his comment on
the arrest of the ex-presidential spokesman his mobile phone indicated
it was switched off.
The anti-graft agency is still
detaining a former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, who was
the Director of Publicity for the Goodluck Jonathan Presidential
Campaign Organisation for the 2015 elections.
