A serving colonel in the Nigerian Army has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over his alleged involvement in the sharing of money from the office of the former National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki. It was gathered that the colonel served as a Special Assistant to the former National Security Adviser in charge of liaison with the Nigerian Army. BETH NEWS further gathered that the army officer locked himself up in one of the buildings when the EFCC operatives arrived his Abuja residence.
The operatives, however, laid siege until about 10pm when he tried to sneak out but was nabbed and immediately moved to the EFCC headquarters for interrogation. It was gathered that the officer was taken to his house on Wednesday where a search was reportedly conducted. When the officer was, however, asked to open one of the safes in the house, he refused to oblige, forcing the operatives to force it open before taking away some vital documents.
