There were strong indications Wednesday that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), had re-arrested the Managing Director (MD) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Fidelity Bank Plc., Mr. Nnamdi Okonkwo.
According to New Telegraph, Okonkwo’s re-arrest may not be unconnected with fresh discovery of another lodgement in the bank, besides the initial $115 million said to have been lodged by a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke.
There was no confirmation from the EFCC, as the Commission’s Head of Media and Publicity, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, could not be reached.
Meanwhile,  “Senator Sa’idu Umar Kumo of Gombe State, who was the former National Secretary of the All Nigerian Peoples Party, (ANPP) allegedly signed and collected N450 million, campaign fund for the re-election of the former President Goodluck Jonathan.”
