No further details were given about the allegations or how long he may remain in custody.


The development follows earlier questioning by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over matters reportedly linked to financial transactions amounting to N432 billion during his tenure as governor of Kaduna State from 2015 to 2023.


While the EFCC has not publicly outlined the specifics of its inquiry, sources said the probe forms part of a wider anti-corruption review of projects and financial dealings carried out during that period.
