After several hours of
interrogation by officials of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
, EFCC in Abuja, Malam Nasir el Rufai
left the EFCC premises Tueday evening.
Reports suggest he
may have been granted an administrative
bail.But there was no official comment
either from EFCC or from El Rufai.In
fact, journalists who had waited
to hear from him were visibly angry that
the former FCTminister drove off without
a word.His associates tried to apologize
on his behalf
The EFCC invited him
for questioning over alleged
embezzlement of N32 billion.But the
figures reportedly shrank to N1.6
billion of late .He is also accused of
allocating plots of land to his friends
and family members.
The very vibrant and
courageous ex minister has
repeatedly maintained that the charges
against him were politically contrived
by the YarAdua cabal, which incidentally
has been decapitated by the emergence of
Goodluck Jonathan as Acting President.
