Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission ar currently grilling the Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Elder Uche Secondus, who allegedly received 25 exotic cars from the embattled promoter of Atlantic Energy Concepts Limited, Jide Omokore, for top officials of the Peoples Democratic Party

The operatives are asking about for the whereabout of the cars said to be worth over N300m which Secondus received the cars for onward distribution to other beneficiaries.

It was learnt on Wednesday that Secondus was arrested by operatives of the commission in Abuja on Tuesday following statements made by Omokore.

Secondus was still being interrogated as at the time of filing the story last night.

A top official of the anti-graft agency said last night that the 25 exotic cars, worth over N300 million, were discovered in the course of interrogating Omokore, who had been in EFCC detention for the second week over bogus oil deals worth billions of Naira.

The source said: “It was Omokore’s probe that exposed Secondus and we had to go after him. It was in the process of trying to trace where Omokore’s money went to that we found that exotic cars worth over N300 million were bought for distribution to PDP top shots.

“Records show that he (Secondus) was the man who received the vehicles and we really want to know why he got the cars, what they were meant for and who the beneficiaries were.”

Asked if the deputy chairman was arrested, the source said he honoured invitation and was taken up on the issues but could not say whether he would be granted administrative bail, having made his statement.
