A source at the Commission confided in Daily Trust that the NDDC official was still with the operatives as at 7:15pm when this report was filed.
According to the official, Otu’s arrest was part of a larger investigation of the forensic audit report of the NDDC.
Efforts to reach the spokesman of the Commission, Wilson Uwujaren, were futile as calls to his mobile phone rang out.
