The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Wednesday, confirmed the arrest and detention of former governors, Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State and Ikedi Ohakim of Imo State.
Spokesman of the commission, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the detention in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
He said Nyako’s son, Abdul-Aziz, was also in the custody of the commission, and the detention was ahead of likely arraignment before a Federal High Court in Abuja.
Ohakim was, on June 18, arrested and interrogated by the EFCC over allegations of corruption during his tenure as the governor of Imo State, NAN reports.
Nyako and his son were accused of criminal conspiracy, stealing, abuse of office and money laundering.
Massive looting by top officials during Nyako's administration as governor of Adamawa State has also been alleged by the EFCC.
Nyako's son, Abdul-Aziz was however being detained over allegations of N15 billion fraud traced to the accounts of five of his personal companies.
