Operatives of Nigeria’s anti-corruption agency have arrested the Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, Mustapha Abdullahi, over allegations linked to a suspected ₦500 billion fraud investigation.
Abdullahi was taken into custody in Abuja on Wednesday as investigators intensified scrutiny into the alleged financial misconduct.
The arrest marks a significant development in what could become one of the country’s high-profile corruption investigations, with authorities expected to examine the circumstances surrounding the alleged misappropriation and financial dealings under review.
Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are yet to publicly provide detailed information regarding the allegations or the specific nature of the ongoing investigation.
Further details are expected to emerge as the probe unfolds.
