The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has at the eve of the New Year arrested Shehu Sani, former senator representing Kaduna central.
An EFCC source said Sani was arrested for collecting money from a businessman, promising to pass it on to Ibrahim Magu, acting chairman of the anti-graft agency.
According to a source, Sani was arrested for alleged extortion of $20,000 from the owner of ASD Motors.
The source said: “He was said to have collected the $20,000 from the owner of ASD Motors on the grounds that he is very close to the EFCC boss.

“He was subsequently arrested and granted administrative bail while he refunded the money to the victim.
“He was asked to report but made himself incommunicado. He must have been scamming a lot of people, dropping the name of the EFCC boss.”
