Sam
Ogbuku, the former Chief of Staff to ex-Bayelsa State Governor,
Timipreye Sylva has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC. Ogbuku was picked up today at his residence in Lekki
Phase 1, Lagos by operatives of the Commission.
His
arrest is not unconnected with the on going investigation of Sylva’s
tenure as governor of Bayelsa State. Sources close to the investigation
disclosed that several payments to Bureau de Change operators from the
Bayelsa State treasury were traced to the suspect, who is said to have
made useful statement.
He was still being interrogated at the time of filing this report.
