Sen Sani
The Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed the arrest of the former
senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani.
“He is now being quizzed
in our Jabi headquarters in Abuja,” the source told P.M. News today.
According to the source,
Sani collected money from the Chairman and CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of ASD
Motors, his namesake Sani Dauda, under the pretence of passing it as bribe to
EFCC boss, Ibrahim Magu.
Sani Dauda was a former
Chairman of Peugeot Automobile Nigeria Limited (PAN). His ASD Motors is a major
car dealer in Abuja.
P.M.News could not
confirm the amount he collected. But some reports said it was $20,000.
“The case has been on
for some time. He was granted administrative bail and told to report weekly.
But he breached the terms of the bail. Hence his arrest today,” the EFCC source
said.
Shehu Sani, a human
rights activist, was elected Senator in 2015, on the All Progressives Congress
platform. When he could not get the party’s ticket in 2019, he ran on the
ticket of the Peoples Redemption Party but lost to Uba Sani of the APC.
He has been a trenchant
critic of the APC government, both in Kaduna and Abuja, since then.
