Akwa Ibom State former Governor, Udom Emmanuel, is now cooling it off in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC.
The commission claimed his government withdrew a sum of N31bn from a single account while alleging another N700billion fraud.
Emmanuel was arrested after honouring an invitation of the EFCC on Tuesday to answer charges of money laundering, diversion of funds and stealing preferred against him by Network against Corruption and Trafficking (NCAT).
He arrived the EFCC’s office around 12:30pm.
The commission’s investigations have uncovered the withdrawal of N31billion in cash in one single account.
The name of the account is Office of the Governor.
He was also alleged to be unable to account for N700billion.
The EFCC’s investigations are ongoing with Emmanuel being grilled by operatives.
