He was picked up from his Abuja residence a source in EFCC confirmed to Vanguard.
Vanguard gathered that Soludo’s arrest was in connection with the controversial contract he awarded for the printing of polymer currency notes to an Australian firm while he was governor of the CBN between 2006 and 2008.
It was not clear as at the time of filing the report if the operatives would release the former Anambra State Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate. (Vanguard)

thank God that we can see a bit of the doctrine of "rule of law" in operation
So, public office holders should just have it at the back of their minds that one day they'd be arrested or what?

Na wa o. The name of the Australian firm is SECURENCY. Let's see what the govt comes up with. It's a serious matter.
Check out the full list of OSCAR NOMINEES HERE

Yawwwwwwn. Didn't they arrest Otedola, Farouk, Fayose etc in the past and nothing happened afterwards? Abegiiii
I will eat my head if anything comes out of this
BATTLE FOR ANAMBRA STATE GOVERNORSHIP RACE COME 2014 JUST STARTED.WE ARE WATCHING..
Abeg all nah wash! They would soon leave him. All this is Mallam Sanusi's work. He would get his own too. Turn by turn
But when they are stealing, its not at the back of their mind? Mine is to see the end of all this show of Arrest. Anambra Governorship Election is approaching mind you. Is it today Soludo left office? Good riddence to bad rubbish.
Abeg this EFCC sef!! Pretending to be working by making the headlines while the main thieves are still moving about freely. Subsidy thieves, no one has heard about the full outcome on those ones. I dont worry about Soludo, he just riled up some northern big boys when he was in power and almost messed their bureau de change businesses and they are out to get him. chywe
Yep, that's exactly what we need 2 do in nigeria. Pls d efcc should scrutinize him and if find fault then he should b prosecuted.
One word Rubbish! Next pls.
Well it's a case after many. EFCC never saw any thing wrong till the Austria govt prob the manufacturer for kick back. The case will be like any other one. What about the missing 2 billion be reported from the govt own print mint In Victoria island? Pls make we hear road.
Dis man should have married me
Its all just a show;in a few hrs he'll be released nd b walking down d road as a big man nd nxt he'll be whinnin nd dinin wit GEJ.....dis is Nigeria!
So if dey commited a crime dey shldnt be sanctioned?...wat exactly is ur point pls
It is well in the well,I think efcc is selective in discharging of their duties.
Soludo is a small fry compared to d 0Orji Uzor kalus and Former Kwara gov.
Look this is Chasing after d small fishes!If this guy Jonathan can send a corrupt gov to jail,a corrupt former minister or even himself to jail,then ppl will know there is a conssequence for corruption!
Naija! God help us,,,, must dey bring someone down, tanish ones image after holding a position??? W@ is our country turning in †Φ!!!! Dey shuld investigate all d Northans dat av hold a positn b4, S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ dat deir image can also Be must panted black,,, rubbishhhh mstessssssssss

Must U write in incorrect English ?
TANISH (tarnish)
NORTHANS (Northerners)
'That v hold a position ... (Held)
PANTED (painted)
Etc...
Even to sigh, You can't correctly. Lol
Vernacular is your friend.
I wish rule of law prefail
Come o, how come they never arrest northerners? Besides they are the biggest theives. But they are highly coded. Besides, Jonah go smell weeen when they read Koran from back for am. Soludo, they are after you to silence you and make sure you are never the governor of Anambra.
He has "suddenly" offended someone! Elections are coming, silence him.
LINDA IF YOU LIKE PUBLISH MY COMMENT.
SOLUDO DEALT WITH NORTHERN ABOKIS WHEN HE BROUGHT DOWN DOLLAR FROM N170 TO N117,THEY ARE OUT TO GET HIM AT ANY TIME,FOR GEJ,HE IS JUST DIGGING HIS OWN GRAVE BECAUSE THOSE PARASITES FROM THE NORTH WILL MAKE SURE HE SERVE 21 YEARS AFTER HIS TENURE,I DON'T HAVE ANY FEAR ABOUT SOLUDO,HE WILL DEFEAT ALL HIS ENEMIES JUST LIKE DORA AKUNYILI WAS DISGRACED IN A SENATORIAL SEAT AFTER SHE BETRAYED SOLUDO ON 2010 ELECTION IN ANAMBRA STATE.
He was nt arrested, dey interviewed him nd he lft, he did nt even spnd up to an hour wit dem.dts is naija for u. Mst corrupt country in d world
He was nt arrestd dey intrviewd him nd he lft to his aus.he did nt even spnd time dere. Naija I hail oooo.
WITCHHUNTING...Must this govt. manhandle any 'opponent' of the regime?? Am beginning to see this Jonathan in a different light..more of the same, no difference- WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING. Please release this man b4 you are given double trouble..BOKO HARAM NEVER DO YOU???
I strongly believe that God knows best.
We are not to judge anyone, let the rule of law prevail.
Efcc ma foot! This county too get drama kai! Watin be this one again? So for their mine them they work? If so Ẅђα† happpen to otodela n co? My point is no one shd be arrest @ all since they alway end up walking freely. Soludo's case is political reason
Linda this ur blog self na waoo,person no D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ fit Edit anything if one make a mistake. Bt all d same,na u correct pass. I hail ma Linda.
This is 9janow. This shit is going nowhere after they dribble the case around like maradona, Soludo will end coming out unscathed and this will further boost his public profile, which don drop after he left his CBN job.
So everybody, pls don't be fooled.
Remember this case is going on in 9ja and this na one of d 9ja BIG BOYS oh!!!
I hope this is not some charade as we have seen in previous corruption allegations...someone had better be locked up for like 10 years...then we'll know efcc is not some bullshit organization. Ping 277DDBCD for clothings @ affordable prices with delivery in lagos..
wel gud 4 him.he should be made answerable 2 some of his deeds.more arrest pls.
Corruption is endemic in Nigeria, even the so called EFCC is corrupt. Or una wan talk say EFCC no dey collect. EFCC guys get plentiful money.... Where dem see am ? Abi na oil company dem dey work ? Corrupt bunch of peeps. I sorry for this country o. We categories stealing, If I dey steal small, I no steal be that. .... Men ... All die na die.

Dis is all a mirrage. . . It'll die off pretty soon. . . . Oga solu abeg dnt step on toes again 2 avord further embarasment. . I luv naija politics,its more like comedy to me. . . #GODBLESSNIGERIA
Am just confused with d way Efcc work,what of Farouk and d rest?Where does the money recovered from these people go to?Efcc to are guilty
Efcc Biko go n sleep.who is deceiving who?What happened to all the other big shots you arrested last year?it all died a natural death.African china sang in 1 of his songs-poor man wey tif maggi omo dem go show em face for crime fighter,rich man wey tif money omo dem no go show em face for crime fighter,tell me smthing I no know..........Farouk lawal,Patricia eteh n the endless list of ppl u arrested are all still there making more money and out if d blues u remb.soludo....mschew
I BELIVE AFTER EFCC GET THEIR OWN SHARE NOTHING WILL COME-UP OF THIS MATTER.NOISE MAKERS
In nigeria corruption is d order of d day
they need dough for january salary
EFCC WANT MONEY FOR JANUARY SALARY
Jigawa gov's son was caught with $50k not millions of dollar.haba!
who holds the largest cash in hand of US dollars in Nigeria? the answer is the Muslim north, why are they the dominant holders of foreign currency in Nigeria? why do they operate this business thru a network of small dealers all over the country without any challenge, what do they do with or intend to do with it? what currency does Boko H prefer?.
These questions will lead to something larger in future if not in the present.
If Soludo is arrested so be it, he has not shown himself to be a change agent but a part of the problem.
Note also that Anambra state is now an oil producing state with a river that will enable oil shipment. The Gov of such a state is important.
We will not know why he is arrested if we dont ask how he suddenly became super rich.
Not forgetting the fact that others from other tribes who stole money were released one would wonder how corrupt people can remove corruption. Nigeria is in serious trouble but catching world attention.
I agree it is too much, because we never see †̥ђε̲̣̣̣̥ end of †̥ђε̲̣̣̣̥ numerous arrest, EFCC is beginning to loose what little credibility it had because all they do is witch hunt, they shouldn't bother arresting people if they won't be sentenced to jail terms,
Corruption should be taking seriously in this country aand sanctions imposed on offenders like 20yrs in prison etc, it shouldn't be just about frequent arrests.
Somfin tells me dis has 2 do with d Anambra State elections dat would b comin up very soon. Using EFCC 4 witch hunting instead of d real purpose it was established. SMH 4 Naija...
If he stole money let him be prosecuted and purnished (i doubt if curruption in high places will allow that anyway).
But i also have this to say: Soludo stepped on the toes of the 'almighty North' with 25 billion minimum capital base for banks policy - only Fidelity and Unity bank survived as 'northern banks'. I'm sure they cant forgive him for that.
