Sources told journalists that the arrests are linked to an ongoing probe into the misappropriation of funds.
This comes shortly after a similar raid by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), which is investigating the mismanagement of the ₦90 billion intervention fund for the 2024 Hajj.
EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale assured that further details would be provided when available.
