The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday grilled the embattled Chairman of the PDP, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, from 10am to about 5.30pm.
It was learnt that Sheriff was interrogated at the Maiduguri office of the EFCC for his role in the sharing of the $115m (N23bn) which emanated from ex-Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
During the build-up to the presidential election, N450m was said to have been sent to Borno State and it was received by a former Minister of Power, Mohammed Wakil. About N40m was said to have been given to Sheriff through Alhaji Mohammed Kumaila, a PDP chieftain in the state.
An impeccable source at the anti-graft agency told Punch that Sheriff, who is a former governor of Borno, was released on an administrative bail and asked to return at a later date.
“Sheriff honoured the EFCC invitation and arrived around 10am. We released him on an administrative bail at 5.30pm. He has been asked to return at a later date.”
