Former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim is spending his third day since he arrived the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EDCC on Sunday.
A close source confirmed to EverydayNews that the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation is yet to regain his freedom from the Commission.
Top People’s Democratic Party, PDP members especially from the South East have been in close contact with regular visits to the EFCC Headquarters.
The APC has been fingered to be behind Amyim’s recent travails but no official statement has come from the main opposition party, PDP.
Anyim’s arrest is said to be in connection with the ongoing probe of a former Aviation Minister, Senator Stella Oduah.
Anyim was grilled on Sunday for several hours in connection with the fund which was traced to a company in which he was a director.
The former senate president reportedly arrived at the EFCC office in the afternoon on Sunday and was quizzed for over six hours.
Anyim has remained up to the time of this report.
This is coming days after Oduah was named in the Pandora Papers as one of 10 Nigerians hiding their wealth in tax havens.
The EFCC is believed to have commenced a probe of Oduah and others named in the report.
A source said, “Anyim’s invitation and interrogation is in connection with a case of money laundering involving a former Aviation Minister and serving senator, Senator Stella Oduah.
”Investigations revealed that part of the aviation ministry’s N780 million was traced to a company in which Senator Anyim has an interest. He is presently cooperating with investigators.”
