$1 Billion Scam: Dimeji Bankole Resists Efcc Arrest by dejavus: 8:25am On Jun 03, 2011

Nigeria's anti-corruption police known as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission are engaged in a tense stand-off at the home of Dimeji Bankole, the speaker of the house of representatives accused of corruption. Security sources told Saharareporters that a group of officials sent to execute Mr. Bankole's arrest could not do so because he resisted arrest by the agency over money laundering allegations.

Mr. Bankole had planned to travel to the United Kingdom this morning on 7 :00 AM flight in order to avoid arrest, but EFCC operatives soon invaded his official abode at Apo quarters in Abuja, the official residence of Nigeria's number 3 official.

Although Mr. Bankole's tenure ended yesterday as speaker, Policemen and plain clothed security officials attached to the speaker's office prevented his arrest.

Can't stop wondering , Again what is wrong with Nigeria? Resisting arrest , only in Nigeria, unless an arrest warrant was not issued.
