Operatives of Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), today Wednesday, December 8, conducted a search at the Abuja home of former Senator Shehu Sani.
The operatives stormed the apartment in Wuse, Abuja at about 3:30pm to look for incriminating evidence against the former Kaduna senator.
Sani was arrested by the anti graft agency last week for alleged extortion of $20,000 from the owner of ASD Motors, Sani Daudu.
The former Senator who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial district between 2015 and 2019, allegedly collected the money from Dauda with a promise to pass it on to Ibrahim Magu, acting chairman of the anti-graft agency.
There was also reference to the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Muhammad Tanko in the saga although the CJN has denied ever knowing or meeting the ex-senator.
