Alleged $2.2billion Arms Deal: EFCC to quiz Okonjo-Iweala, Sanusi, Emefiele

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission plans to interrogate the former Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy in the last administration, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, a top management staff of the commission said.

The source told The PUNCH on the condition of anonymity in Abuja on Wednesday that the commission would also look into the activities of three officials who presided over the affairs of the Central Bank of Nigeria in relation to the ongoing arms purchase probe.

They are the former Governor of the CBN and now the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II; former Acting Governor of the CBN, Mrs. Sarah Alade, and the current Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele.

The source, however, did not give the exact date when the top figures involved in the release of funds and approval in some cases would be invited by the commission.
