The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly arrested Mustapha Abdullahi, the Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, over allegations of financial misconduct involving more than N500 billion.
According to reports, the EFCC is investigating claims of money laundering and the suspected mismanagement of large public funds. The allegations suggest that the funds in question are linked to activities within the energy sector, though official details of the transactions are still under review.
The arrest is part of an ongoing investigation by the anti-corruption agency into possible irregular financial activities involving public officials and government institutions. EFCC operatives are said to be gathering evidence to determine the extent of Abdullahi’s involvement in the alleged case.
Authorities have not yet released full details of the charges, and the investigation is still ongoing. The EFCC is expected to provide further updates as more information becomes available.
At this stage, the allegations remain unproven, and no court ruling has been made regarding the case.
