The ill-wind of anti-corruption has swept some public officers in the northern part of Nigeria as the premier anti-graft body wades in.

Officials of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC have arrested eight councillors of Yola North Metropolitan Council of Adamawa.

The Chairman of the council, Alhaji Mahmoud Mamman, said the councillors were detained at the Adamawa Police Command headquarters.

He said, “I was informed that eight councillors were arrested by EFCC and I had to rush with my Vice Chairman to the police headquarters to see what is happening.

“I was told that eight councillors were arrested but so far I saw only five when I went there this morning.”

The chairman who declined to give the names of those arrested or the reason why they were arrested said only the EFCC could do that.

When contacted on the development, the spokesman of Adamawa Police Command, SP Othman Abubakar, who did not give the number of those arrested, said that it was purely the affairs of EFCC.

“All I know is that EFCC officials brought them to our facility”, Abubakar said.

Effort to get the officials of EFCC to comment did not yield result.
