The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) has arrested eight consultants/contractors of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Daily Trust has gather‎ed.

According a source in the EFCC the suspects arrested include: Kanmi Adediran, Tumo Yetunde. Collins Omokhojie, Oluboye Adedokun, Ugala Jaachinma, Olukoya Olusegun Godwin, Oyinmi-ebi Bribena and Olukayode Raimi.

Daily Trust learnt  ‎that they were taken into custody early today (Sunday) and are still being quizzed by a team of operatives at the Abuja headquarters of the EFCC.

The source further disclosed that the arrest of the suspects is in continuation of the Commission’s investigation of the tenure of Kingsley Kuku as head of the Presidential Amnesty Office. 

Kuku has been out of the country for health reason after news of the investigation was reported in the media.

Daily Trust gathered that the suspects are being grilled over issues of contract scam running into billion of naira, as their companies are alleged to have underperformed after collecting heavy mobilization fees from the Amnesty office. 

‎"In some of the cases, almost 95 percent of the contract value was paid the contractors, yet the structures on ground are a far cry from the amount collected," the source said.

It further said: "It is also being alleged that most of the contracts did not follow due process, ‎Among the contracts affected include the ones for the vocational training centres in Ondo and Bayelsa State."

Some of the companies fingered in the alleged scam include, Delse  Project Limited, Masterpiece Construction Company Limited, Eternity Consult Limited, Zomy Civil Construction Limited and Tolsega Consul Nigeria Limited. Others are Stracosplan, Sourme Global Creations limited, Riddle Construction Limited and Revelation Pact Limited
