Bankole flanked by EFFC operatives on arrival at EFCC Headquarters

Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, was yesterday afternoon Sunday June 5, arrested by EFCC in his  Asokoro home , Abuja, despite the reported plan by Bankole to appear in the anti-graft office, today Monday June 6. 

It was gathered that Bankole’s security aides resisted moves by the EFCC operatives from effecting his arrest until the EFCC chairman, Farida Waziri pulled a call to the Inspector General of Police, Hafiz Ringim and the SSS Director General to withdraw their men. The duo then ordered the removal of their operatives, thus paving way for the arrest of the embattled Speaker by anti-corruption  agency.www.mannamart.com
