Investigations revealed that operatives of the anti-graft agency picked up the former governor and his two sons, Mustapha and Aminu in the early hours of Tuesday in Abuja.
It was learnt that the EFCC leadership ordered a crack team of detectives to fly them to Kano by 2.30 pm to prepare them for their arraignment for alleged fraud that amount to billions of naira.
The source said,
“The former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, and his two sons, Mustapha and Aminu, were arrested this morning by operatives of the commission.
“They were actually arrested very early this morning, they were with us for hours before they were flown to Kano for possible arraignment on Wednesday (today).
“They left Abuja Airport around 2.30pm. It is most likely that they would be arraigned tomorrow (Wednesday), that I can tell you.”The EFCC had arrested the two sons of the governor in November 2014, over alleged misappropriation of billions of naira belonging to the Jigawa State Government.
Operatives of the commission investigating Lamido and his sons alleged that billions of naira that belonged to the state government was traced into the accounts of companies owned and run by the governor and his two sons.
The Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the arrest of the former governor and two of his sons.
He said,
“I can confirm to you that the former Governor of Jigawa a State, Alhaji Sule Lamido and his two sons are with the commission.”

The presentation of cheque to fire victims by LASG. The various media outlet are reporting that 243 victims were given cheques. The deputy governor only presented cheques to 10 people before she left. After that, the rest were told that the money will be paid into their various account. Pls we call on all authorities involved to look into this so that the matter will not be swept under the rug!!!
Nice one, I'm sure on the same allegation his son was arrested then by GEJ led EFCC but was released after his father pulled out from the governors that wanted to leave PDP.

Ghengen! If they did embezzle the state fund they should be made to return it shikena!!!
WAT ABOUT ABIA EX GOVERNOR T A ORJI N HIS THUG SON IKUKU? DE SHUD B NUMBER ONE ON DIA LIST.
The usual arrest before gathering evidence. At the end of the day, they would be discharged and acquitted like FFK and others. Media-hyped arrest = Leaky trial! We know the beginning and end of this story. Linda stop EFCC story on your blog. it is a waste of LIBers' precious time.
They will soon drop the charges due to insufficient evidence.Lamido luv his sons,enough to do anything not to make them go to jail.
But Lamido tried for Jigawa sha.He transformed that state into a mini haven of some sort
EFCC always the same stories, we have heard all ur ranting, after you will realise them, we can see you are indeed working, if is poor people they will go to jail

The arrest isn't a big deal. All we want is the prosecution of looters in the land.
May God punish buhari.

They were arrested when they came for question and answer session in the Commission, but are yet 2 be taken to Kano. Though the arraignment will be in Kano, the Commission couldnt get them on a flight yesterday and are proposing to take them this morning for arraignment @ the Federal High Court in Kano.
Interesting let's see how this turns out...
This is the man OBJ was preparing to take over from GEJ. He is still very innocent.
Hiss* dem go free dem l8ter
