The Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria, Osita Okechukwu, has spent two nights in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Okechukwu was detained on Saturday over an alleged case of conspiracy, abuse of office and misappropriation of public funds to the tune of N1.3billion, and is yet to be released.
He reportedly visited the headquarters of the anti-graft agency in Abuja at about 1.30 pm on Saturday to honour an invitation but was detained.
A senior official confirmed to our correspondent on Sunday that the All Progressives Congress chieftain was still being questioned by operatives on his roles in the fraud.
“He is still with us,” the source said at 7.15 pm on Sunday.
