The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has yet to issue a statement on the reported arrest of former Governor of Nasarawa State, Tanko Al-Makura and his wife, Mairo Al-Makura.
TrackNews Online reports that the former governor and his wife were at the EFCC headquarters to honour the invitation extended to them by the commission.
