Former
Special Adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Media, Dr. Reuben Abati
|
The Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission has arrested the former Special Adviser to ex-President
Goodluck Jonathan on Media, Dr. Reuben Abati.
Media
report continues:
An
official in the commission disclosed on Monday that Abati was brought to the
commission’s office “in the early hours of the afternoon.”
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 Organization for the 2015 elections.
