October 25, (THEWILL) – Former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim was on Sunday quizzed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged corruption and diversion of public funds.
Anyim arrived at the headquarters of the anti-graft agency in Jabi, Abuja at about 3pm on Sunday afternoon, and was grilled by a team of operatives.
Though details of the specific allegations against the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) were sketchy, a source familiar with the case said it may not be unconnected with the corruption and money laundering case involving former Aviation Minister and serving senator, Stella Oduah.
Part of the rehabilitation funds to the tune of N780 million were allegedly traced to a company in which Senator Anyim has interest.
When contacted, the EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, said he was yet to be briefed.
THEWILL could not confirm whether the former Senate President spent the night at the commission.
