Former FCT Minister, Senator Bala Mohammed has been arrested by the EFCC.
He was picked up on Monday morning and at the end of the day was yet to leave EFCC custody.
Punch says EFCC is investigating him for alleged fictitious contracts worth N1bn and the allocation of 12 properties and 37 commercial plots of land to a suspected front of Mohammed plus a controversial Abuja land swap deal put at N1tn.
His son and several top officials at the agency have also been quizzed with some of his assets, worth N872m, seized.
“His arrest is the high point of the investigation in which the owners of 16 companies have been questioned by the EFCC for being linked to allegations of awarding fictitious contracts,” someone familiar with the matter reportedly said.
