He said the two officials were later released on condition that they would appear before the commission the following day, which they failed to honour.

“Based on the complaints filled before us on the 2018 anchor borrower scheme handled by the state chapter of RIFAN in which N10 billion is alleged to be expended with little above 5% recovery, we invited the state chapter chairman and his deputy and when they refused to honor the invitation we arrested them for questioning.

“We released them based on the fact that they have agreed to appear before the commission the following day, a condition they failed to honor which necessitate us to began a court proceeding against the officials,” he said.

When Daily Trust visited RIFAN office along Maiduguri road in the state metropolis, the office was under lock and key.

Several calls placed to the state RIFAN chairman’s mobile line were not answered.
