Former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido and his to sons has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for alleged money laundering-related offences.
Investigations revealed that operatives of the anti-graft agency picked up the former governor and his two sons, Mustapha and Aminu in Abuja.
It was gathered that they were picked up in the early hours of Tuesday.
It was learnt that the EFCC leadership ordered a crack team of detectives to fly them to Kano by 2.30 pm preparatory to their arraignment for alleged fraud running into billions of naira.
The EFCC had arrested the two sons of the governor in November 2014, over alleged misappropriation of billions of naira belonging to the Jigawa State Government.
Operatives of the commission investigating Lamido and his sons alleged that billions of naira belonging to the state government was traced into the accounts of companies owned and run by the governor and his two sons.
The Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the arrest.
