EFCC speaks on ‘arresting’ Atiku’s sons

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has denied arresting the sons of Presidential Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

DAILY POST recalls that The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, had raided the home of children of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

EFCC’s Acting Spokesperson, Mr. Tony Orilade, made the denial in a statement in Abuja, on Monday.

He said, “We have received several calls and e-mail messages asking us to confirm the arrest of the sons of Abubakar as being alleged in some quarters.

“Some only said we raided the apartments of Atiku’s sons looking for foreign currencies.

“This is nothing but another tales by moonlight.”

Orilade also stated that the commission was not after Atiku‘s sons and they were not among the two boys that were arrested.

“It is in the news that we have been investigating the former Abia GAovernor, Sen. Theodore Orji, over alleged N27 billion money-laundering.

“In the course of investigation, we discovered that he laundered part of the money through his sons.

“We have been on the trail of some of the purchases made by his sons, including the cars the boys allegedly bought.

“There is no link whatsoever to Atiku.”
