Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested some senior officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) over alleged N6 billion fraud.

Soures said the senior officers are currently being interrogated by the EFCC at its headquarters, Jabi, Abuja.

We gathered that the officers were handed over to the EFCC on Monday on the order of the NSCDC Commandant General, Ahmed Audi.

Sources told us that the EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede had earlier written a letter to the NSCDC boss, demanding the officers’ release for questioning.

EFCC source said: “The EFCC did not arrest the NSCDC CG, neither is he being probed. We only have six senior NSCDC officers in our custody, and they’re being probed over alleged N6bn fraud.”

“The EFCC Chairman had earlier written to the NSCSC CG to provide the officers, and the CG did. Now they’re in our custody and are being grilled by EFCC interrogators.”
