EFCC Detains Ex-Attorney General Adoke Over Malabu Oil Corruption Deal
Former Attorney General of the federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke, has been detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) shortly after he arrived Nigeria from Dubai.
The ex-AGF left Dubai following pressure from EFCC.
The EFCC boss, Ibrahim Magu, and Dubai authorities have held series of meeting in respect of the former Attorney General.
He was accompanied by INTERPOL officers on Emirates Airlines Flight 785.
The aircraft departed the Emirati commercial capital at about 11am Dubai time (8am Nigerian time) and touched down at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja at 3:45pm.
Officers of the EFCC were on ground at the airport when he arrived.
The ex-AGF will surely have his days in court, the anti-graft agency said in a statement on Thursday.
BIGPEN Online understands that Adoke is being prosecuted over the “Malabu scandal” in which Eni and Shell are accused of handing out bribes during the 2011 purchase of OPL245, an offshore oil block, for $1.3 billion.
