As part of the ongoing investigations into the former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has arrested a former Managing Director of Fidelity Bank Plc, Nnamdi Okonkwo, allegedly over an additional $72, 870,000 still in the coffers of the bank.
Okonkwo, who is currently the Chairman of First Bank Holding, alongside others, had earlier been grilled over a sum of $153 million and $115 million by the Commission.
While all the $153 million was recovered by the EFCC, the cases involving $115 million as it relates to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) bribery matters are in various courts.
Okonkwo and Charles Onyedibe are currently being detained by the EFCC over the whereabouts of the new $72.8 million.
