The former governor turned himself today after returning from a pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia. Upon his return he drove himself to the EFCC headquarters in Abuja and turned himself in just several hours ago.

SaharaReporters contacted EFCC operatives and they confirmed that the former governor was still in interrogation and they did not whether he would be released by tonight.

The interrogation is related to allegations of massive fraud that attended his tenure as governor for 8 years in Kwara State.

It has been alleged that he has been receiving 100 million naira monthly as an illegal pension from the current government of Kwara state.

The fraud & illegal pension was first detected at First City Merchant Bank in Lagos.
