Details of what brought former Kaduna State Senator and civil rights activist, Shehu Sani, into trouble with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and resulting in his Tuesday’s arrest and detention, emerged last night.

Vanguard gathered that the vocal former lawmaker had reportedly used the name of the Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, to collect the sum of $30,000 from a popular car dealer in the state with an assurance to shield him and his company from any form of inquiry by the anti-graft agency.

However, it was gathered that the cash payment soon became a source of anger between Shehu Sani and the car dealer and eventually drew the attention of Magu and EFCC.

The former senator is also said to have declined to pick his calls or respond to text messages sent to him by the operatives of the anti-graft agency over the development.

An operative said on Tuesday that it was on the basis of his refusal to honour previous invitations that they stormed his home and arrested him for interrogation

“The former Senator is with us as we speak and he is going to be with us even up to the New Year and we hope to grill him on various issues of interest to us, “an official of the anti-graft agency said on Tuesday.

Asked to disclose the exact amount reportedly taken from victims by the former lawmaker, the source declined to be specific; pointing out that the figure would be made known after interrogation of the former Central Kaduna Senator.

The arrest of Shehu Sani coincides with the rejection of a no-case-submission by another Senator and former Plateau State Governor, Jonah Jang, by a Plateau State High Court on Tuesday

See naija politicians scamming their selves. Which way naija.



I dedicate this FTC to nairalanders. Happy new year.

Shehu Sami with his mighty head dont have sense... how can you use efcc chairman name to scam a car dealer? Didnt he know that the deal might go south and the dealer would report him to efcc.

I always thought this man has sense, but it seems when money is involved, politicians throw away their sense to the bin

Everybody and anybody na thief for 9ja!!

He will soon release a statement saying it is witch-hunt because he is a human rights "activist".
Hypocrites.

Just what I was about to say



The truth is far from Naija

Big man big trouble. Btw, why did he leave APC? He should have gone back, no one would have arrested him.

Big head does not always amount to sense. He walked into his own cubicle [cell]

I hope this case is not true though I have learnt not to trust the so called 'activists' in Nigeria as 99.9 percent of them are scammers. They claim they are fighting for the masses when. in the real sense, they are more concerned about their pockets. Bunch of rogues!

Ok

Shut up

It is a case of somebody you want to burn and he is using petrol to rob body

EFCC means business.

this looks like a set-up. maybe magu believe his second tenure as efcc chairman could only be made possible by el-rufai. until I read from the senator himself

.

Sani just walked into a self-hurting situation.




Well, do you have an urgent need for a business plan, feasibility studies, financial statements preparation and raising of capital for your hotel, restaurant, integrated farm, university project, real estate business, potable water, beverages production, technology business, school business, iron and steel business, microfinance bank, among many other business projects?

that is the benefit of being a Nigerian politician when you party is in power. many even use president name to scam Nigerians

See person wey dey call himself distinguished Senator, him no distinguish anything, I distinguish pass am

So the guy that sang "Yahoo ni everybody' is right to some extent.

Story line sounds somehow...

Sorry, but one shouldn't be too quick to believe this scam story. The whole arrest is shady and the charges sound ambigous. I believe they arrested him based on those 'various issues of interest' the EFCC source mentioned

Those trusting Sowore should learn from this. All "politicians activists" are politicians and are not different from the Nigerian Politicians.

Ole ni everybody.
