The Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested and detained Niger state chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Tanko Beji.
The reasons for his arrest remain unknown but sources said he was invited to the Abuja office of the commission last Thursday where he was detained after undergoing interrogations.
He has been refused access to his family, friends and party members.
It was learnt the PDP helmsman has been charged on a one- count charge of aiding and abetting Ex-Governor Mu’azu Aliyu who appointed him as Director General of his campaign organisation during the quest for second term.
It was gathered Beji would be required to explain how N97million advanced to the campaign organisation was expended.
