Reports have it that Engr. Babachir David Lawal, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The EFCC Acting Head of Media and Publicity, Mr Samin Amaddin, confirmed this to Channels Television on Wednesday.
Amaddin said the former SGF is cooperating with investigators and has been making useful statements.
He added that his interview with the anti-corruption agency would continue on Thursday.
Lawal was recently sacked after he was indicted by a presidential panel that investigated misuse of funds meant for people displaced by Boko Haram.
He had earlier been indicted by the Senate.
His arrest is coming a day after former President Olusegun Obasanjo accused President Muhammadu Buhari of condoning corruption where persons close to him are involved.
