The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has taken into custody a former Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Mr. Nsima Ekere, in connection with alleged mismanagement of N47 billion contracts awarded between 2017 and 2019.
According to reports, Ekere, who got wind of a close-up on him by the anti-graft agency, voluntarily reported at the Lagos Zonal Office of the commission.
A top source said: “This commission is investigating alleged diversion of N47 billion through registered contractors of the NDDC. Some phoney contracts were allegedly awarded for diversion purpose.
“Ekere is undergoing interrogation and we have detained him.”
The source added: “I think he got hints of surveillance on him and voluntarily reported to the EFCC’s office in Lagos.”
