THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) have started comparing notes, preparatory to a possible arrest of former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rafai, over statements credited to him about the sharing of money meant to prosecute the alleged third term bid of former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.

Sources said in Abuja, on Sunday, that the anti-graft agencies were interested in el- Rufai’s claim that he knew the treasurer of the alleged third term project.

The former minister had, in an interview on the African Independent Television(AIT) programme, Focus Nigeria, said he was part of those who shared the money.

When asked about his role in the third term agenda and why he was silent in opposing it, el-Rufai had told the presenter: “The treasurer of third term is well known, go and ask him. It is a matter of strategy, you have a situation and it is affecting your country, you can be a media darling and go out and say I am against this, I have resigned, that is one strategy, it is a credible one. But we met and discussed as a group and consider that option and we said we are not going to do that.”

But it was learnt in Abuja that the anti-graft agencies had concluded plans to seek out el-Rufai, so that he could give them more details on the treasurer of the third term agenda.

A source close to one of the anti-graft agencies said since el-Rufai claimed to have helped in sharing the money, he would be in a position to give detailed identity of the treasurer.
