August 10, (THEWILL) – The Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Council (NIPC), Mrs. Yewande Sadiku, was on Monday taken into the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
THEWILL gathered that Mrs. Sadiku, who arrived at the headquarters of the anti-graft agency at about 11am, was grilled by a team of EFCC operatives for about 9 hours over wide ranging corruption issues.
A source familiar with the investigation disclosed that the NIPC boss was questioned for “abuse of office, bordering largely on contract fraud running into several millions of naira and unearned frivolous allowances.
“She is cooperating and has volunteered statement but there is still a lot of grounds to be covered.”
When contacted, EFCC Spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed her presence in the commission but declined further comment.
