Lucky Igbinedion, a former governor of Edo state, has been invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over allegations bordering on fraud.
Igbinedion was said to have arrived the EFCC headquarters in Abuja on Thursday afternoon.
He is reportedly being questioned over alleged diversion of public funds amounting to N1.6 billion.
As of yesterday midnight, the former governor was said to still be in EFCC custody.
Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC spokesman, who confirmed that Igbinedion was in the custody of the agency, didn’t give further details on why the former governor was invited.
Igbinedion served as governor of Edo from 1999 to 2007.
However, not long after he left office, he was prosecuted by the EFCC over allegations of corruption.
