EFCC Arrests Senator Shehu Sani For ‘Extorting’ Kaduna Businessman

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested a senator who represented Kaduna Central in the 8th Senate, Shehu Sani.

Sani, who was a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress  (APC), was arrested for alleged extortion of $20,000 from the owner of ASD Motors.

The Nation quoted an EFCC source as saying: “He (Sani) was said to have collected the $20,000 from the owner of ASD Motors on the grounds that he is very close to the EFCC boss.

“He was subsequently arrested and granted administrative bail while he refunded the money to the victim.

“He was asked to report but made himself incommunicado. He must have been scamming a lot of people, dropping the name of the EFCC boss.”

Meanwhile, checks by THE WHISTLER indicate that the former senator who is very active on social media retweeted some posts on his Twitter page about three hours ago.

Sani’s last personal tweet about eight hours ago reads: “We bid farewell to a turbulent & violent decade for our country with the eternal memory & glorious tribute to those men & women who lost their lives or liberty in those tragic moments in the North East & other places.We move with hope for a more peaceful future ahead.”
