The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Monday, questioned the former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mr. Bala Mohammed, over suspected multiple criminal breaches while in office, offences that may likely land him in court.
Mohammed, a former senator from Bauchi State, served as the Minister of the FCT under President Goodluck Jonathan between 2010-15.
Although details of his arrest were sketchy Monday evening, informed sources told SIGNAL he was being detained by the Commission for further questioning and investigations.
Alongside Mohammed, others in EFCC custody as at Monday night were Musiliu Obanikoro, a former minister of state for defence; Femi Fani-Kayode, a spokesperson for Mr. Jonathan’s re-election campaign last year, and Reuben Abati, the former president’s spokesperson while in office.
