Buhari’s ex-lawyer is reported to be among those who got from the alleged N23.29 billion election scandal.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly arrested Mike Ahamba (SAN), who was President Muhammadu Buhari’s former counsel.

The chairman of Cross River state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ntufam John Okon was nabbed as alongside Senator Chris Anyanwu, in connection with alleged N23.29 billion poll bribery scandal, Sahara Reporters reports.

It was further gathered that Anyanwu and Ahamba got N700 million each but Okon was picked up for getting N500 million and might be charged to court.

Sahara Reporters stated also that the anti-graft agency also discovered that some of the suspects implicated in the bribery scandal have left Nigeria to live abroad.

To get more details, the EFCC has reportedly invited more people and officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), who benefited from the bribery scam, for questioning.
