Director of Finance and Accounts of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Mr. Eno Otu is under interrogation by a crack team of investigators at the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Out was reportedly arrested on Wednesday when he honoured an invitation at the Commission’s headquarters.
It was learnt that he is being grilled in connection with an alleged diversion of over N25 billion tax remittances.
He had yet to be left off the interrogation centre as of the time of filing this report.
Otu’s arrest, according to a source, was part of a wider investigation into the forensic audit report of the Niger Delta interventionist Agency.
President Muhammadu Buhari had in 2019 ordered a forensic audit of NDDC’s operations from 2001 to 2019.
EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, could not be reached for comments on the development.
