Abuja home this morning after its operatives were initially told that he was not around.EFCC said its operatives had insisted on conducting a search on the former governor’s house having obtained a warrant from the court.“During the search, vital documents were obtained. Ironically, the ex-governor who was said to be out of town was later found hiding in a dingy corner in the upper chamber of his expansive mansion,” the Commission said in a statement its spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren.“He was immediately whisked away and is currently being interrogated at the Abuja headquarters of the anti- graft agency.”
