The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Shehu Sani, former senator representing Kaduna central.

An EFCC source said Sani was arrested for collecting money from a businessman, promising to pass it on to Ibrahim Magu, acting chairman of the anti-graft agency.

TheCable could not independently verify this claim. But Cole Michael, an aide of the former lawmaker, said it is untrue that Sani was arrested.
