The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has detained Mr. Uyi Giwa-Osagie, one of the lawyers of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, over allegations of money laundering.
The arrest which was made last night in Lagos State was disclosed by Reno Omokri, a former aide to former president Goodluck Jonathan.
According to Omokri, a team of about 20 operatives of the financial crimes agency stormed Giwa-Osagie’s office at 15 Military Street, Onikan in Lagos at noon and searched his office, detaining him there till 9.30 p.m when he was eventually taken into custody.
The EFCC’s spokesman, Mr. Tony Orilade, could not confirm the arrest last night as he said he was unable to reach the appropriate officer in the commission’s Lagos office.
