A spokesperson for the EFCC did not immediately return phone calls and text messages seeking comments.

Mr Udoh said more information would be provided to Nigerians about the development shortly.

It came a day after Governor Samuel Ortom raised an alarm that the EFCC has frozen the state’s bank accounts, trapping workers and pensioners’ salaries in a state beset by hardship following months of deadly attacks by suspected herdsmen.
