The former Governor of Adamawa state, Murtala Nyako is under interrogation at the offices of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). He is currently being grilled for fraud related charges.
According to Sahara Reporters, the former governor had turned himself in today with the expectation that he will be released in time to attend a rally organized by his supporters in Yola, but EFCC officials who had earlier declared him wanted have continued interrogating him.
An EFCC source who spoke with SaharaReporters said the former governor stole billions of naira from his state and then escaped to the UK when he remained until last week.
The impeached governor of Adamawa state just returned to the country on Saturday, May 30 after he was forced to flee when the anti-corruption agency declared him wanted. An unnamed political aide of the ex-governor said told Nyako made the decision to return following the swearing-in of the new president, Muhammadu Buhari.
