The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has grilled former governor of Nasarawa State and serving senator, Tanko Al-Makura, and his wife, Mairo, over alleged corruption.
They were invited to the commission’s office in Abuja on Wednesday to answer some questions on alleged corruption.
A source at the commission disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday evening.
As of the time of filing this report, the couple were being grilled by operatives of the anti-graft agency at its headquarters in Abuja.
The source did not give details of the allegation against the ex-governor and his wife.
Spokesperson of EFCC, Mr Wilson Uwujaren when contacted declined comment on the couple’s arrest.
