Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday arrested former Bayelsa State governor, Timipre Sylva, over alleged money laundering.
A statement by the EFCC’s spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, said Sylva was arrested while hiding “in a dingy corner in the upper chamber of his expansive mansion” at his No. 3, Niger Street, Maitama, Abuja home.
The anti-graft agency statement read, “On arrival at the facility at about 10am, the commission’s operatives were told that the ex-governor was not in town but they insisted on conducting a search on the house having obtained a warrant from the court.
