The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Sunday interrogated former secretary to the government of the federation Anyim Pius Anyim over N780 million which was traced to a company in which was a director.
The money is linked to former aviation minister Stella Oduah who is being probed after she was named in the Pandora Papers as one of 10 Nigerians hiding their wealth in tax havens.
Oduah was already facing alleged fraud trial before the Pandora Papers exposé.
A source quoted by PUNCH said, “Anyim’s invitation and interrogation is in connection with a case of money laundering involving a former Aviation Minister and serving senator, Senator Stella Oduah.
”Investigations revealed that part of the aviation ministry’s N780 million was traced to a company in which Anyim has interest. He is presently cooperating with investigators.”
EFCC’s spokesman Wilson Uwujaren said he had no information on Anyim’s detention.
