A former presidential spokesperson, Reuben Abati, has been
arrested.
Mr. Abati, who was spokesperson to ex-President Goodluck
Jonathan was arrested on Monday and is expected to spend at least Monday night
at the office of the anti-graft agency, EFCC.
The journalist is being questioned for allegedly receiving some
money from former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, EFCC sources said.
Dasuki is currently being tried by the EFCC for his
management of arms funds under him , in what is now known as #Dasukigate.
Abati’s arrest makes it at least three former aides of Mr.
Jonathan who are currently in EFCC custody.
A former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, is
still with the commission since last week Monday when he voluntarily
surrendered himself after staying months away from the country.
Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Jonathan campaign spokesperson, was
arrested on Friday and is still with the commission.
