The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested Emeka Mba, the Director General of the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission over an alleged N15 billion fraud.
Mr. Mba was arrested on Monday morning in Abuja and taken to the EFCC’s headquarters where he is currently being interrogated.
Those familiar with the investigation say the EFCC had been investigating the NBC in the past one month.
Last week, some detectives stormed the headquarters of the NBC, ransacking computers and files in the Finance and Account unit.
During the operation, some key Accounts staff where taken away.
Sources said the arrested officials made confessional statements to the EFCC implicating Mr. Mba and some top officials of the NBC.
When contacted, the EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, said he was on an official assignment in Lagos and had not been briefed.

But a top official of the anti-graft agency said: “Yes, he (Mr. Mba) is with us. We are investigating massive diversion of public funds and we’re making progress. Mba definitely has questions to answer.”

Ogbeni Op, where is your source?

Billions diverted? He should be roasted immediately...

The sectional witch hunt continues. Buhari is a hardcore tribalist.


Picking and choosing ministry or parastatal occupied by southerners to prosecute.


I will not complain, if I dont know that Northerners have produce far more Political billionaires than south especially the East.


The North have held power longer than any region in the country.


Buhari should prosecute everybody or his exercise is one in futility.


Buhari wants to tell me that NNPC occupied by Northerner after Northerner consecutively is without corruption?


Are we stupiid in this country?


Even Buhari himself, have not accounted for the missing Petroleum fund when he was Petroleum Minister.


EFCC should arrest Buhari, then we know they are working. Nonsense!

I hate kworufshon

Catch anyone that is culpable.
I don't care where he's from.

True talk bro, they conveniently allowed the ex-customs boss to fly to Dubai and then stormed his residence. Next they alert him by talking to the press about their intentions to arrest him. They can only fool their gullible followers.

Who talks to the press while investigation is ongoing?

Next should be Joseph Odumodu of SON. That one has completely drained SON to campaign for GEJ.
EFCC should beam the searchlight on that agency.

God! This country has money o. You mean these people were looting billions on per second billing and government was still able to keep paying salaries and run government.

Thank God, they must vomit all the money! Oloshi people and masses are suffering!

The prosecution must not stop! Every yams must be vomited.

Let the cry of marginalization begin!!!

Igbo ppl be like "its targeted at biafra" "its tribalism"

This isn't tribalism or ethnic witchhunt;one thing I've noticed in my not too long stay in Igbo land is that Igbo people are the most corruption ridden people in Nigeria.
