EFCC arrests ex-presidential spokesman, Reuben Abati

A former spokesperson to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Reuben Abati, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in connection with the controversial  $2.1 billion arms deal scam in the office of the former Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki.

It is still unclear how much the anti-graft agency has accused him of collecting from the alleged arms deal cash.

An EFCC official disclosed on Monday that Abati was brought to the commission's office in the afternoon.

The source stated that the former Presidential spokesman was still writing his statement as of the time of filing this story on Monday.
