The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has arrested Dr. Reuben Abati, Special Adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Media.

An official in the commission hinted this evening, Monday that Abati was brought to the commission’s office in the early hours of the afternoon.

Abati, who was arrested on allegation of receiving some undisclosed amount of money from former National Security Adviser (NSA), retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki, is expected to spend at least Monday night at the office of the anti-graft agency.

Dasuki is currently being tried by the EFCC for his management of arms funds under him, in what is now known as #Dasukigate.

Abati’s arrest brings to at least three, the former aides of Jonathan who are currently in EFCC custody.

A former minister of state for defence is still with the commission since last week Monday when he voluntarily surrendered himself after staying away for months from the country; while Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Jonathan campaign spokesperson, was arrested on Friday and is still with the commission.
