Nigeria's Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu is at the EFCC office, Premium Times reported. It was reported that, he arrived the anti-graft's agency's office in Abuja between 9-10:00 a.m.
According to a source, "He is currently at the interrogation room. We have some questions for him bordering on corruption. But we do not know yet when he would be released, we will know this by 5:00 p.m”.
Being the most senior member of the opposition party, People's Democratic Party (PDP), Ike Ekweremadu was invited for questioning last week Tuesday. The invitation went viral after EFCC operatives stormed the lawmaker's home at Apo Legislative Quarters, in Abuja.
He has faced several allegations of sharp practices in the recent years, including allegations that he forged Senate standing rules which led to the controversial election of principal officers in June 2015. He has also been claimed to have several properties abroad, some which were allegedly purchased using shell firms and political associates fronting for him, reports said.
