The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Uyi Giwa-Osagie, a legal adviser of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, over alleged money laundering.
Osagie was arrested after he honoured an invitation of the anti-graft agency in Lagos state on Thursday. The agency has filed charges over alleged money laundering to the tune of $2 million against Giwa-Osagie.
According to the charge sheet, Osagie made a payment of $2 million without going through any financial institution. The EFCC said the amount which exceeded what is authorised by law, was meant for the 2019 general election.
