EFCC interrogates former Senate President Anyim for alleged N750 million fraud

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 3:00 p.m. and was grilled by a team of operatives, it could not be confirmed whether the former Senate President would spend the night at the commission.

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.

Parts of the rehabilitation funds worth N780 million were allegedly traced to a company in which Anyim has an interest.

When contacted, Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC spokesman, said he had not been briefed.
