A source confided that the EFCC’s Finance Director is being interrogated in connection with an alleged diversion of over N25 billion tax remittances.
The source said that Otu arrived the headquarters of the commission in the early hours of Wednesday to hononur invitation extended to him.
As at the time of filing the reports, the NDDC Finance and Accounts Director was still a guest of the commission.
Investigation revealed that Otu’s arrest was part of a larger investigation of the forensic audit report of the NDDC.
