The operatives of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday stormed the headquarters of
Sterling Bank Plc in Lagos for an undisclosed investigation.
One of our correspondents gathered that
the operatives of the anti-graft agency quizzed the Managing Director of
the bank, Mr. Yemi Adeola, for over two hours, but the details were not
disclosed.
When contacted on the development, officials of the bank refused to confirm or deny the visit by the EFCC operatives.
As of 9pm on Wednesday, the anti-graft agency had yet to give any explanation for its action.
Meanwhile, the EFCC has interrogated a
former Governor of Imo State, Achike Udenwa, for allegedly receiving
N350m from the Director of Finance, Goodluck Jonathan Campaign
Organisation, Senator Nenadi Usman.
The money was said to have emanated from the account of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
About N4bn was deposited into the
account of Usman who then disbursed the money to several politicians
during the build-up to the 2015 presidential election.
According to sources at the EFCC, both
Udenwa and a former Minister of State Foreign Affairs, Viola Onwuliri,
got N350m in two tranches.
