The nabbed Director, Finance and Account of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Mr. Eno Ubi Otu, is being grilled by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
It was learnt that Otu was arrested by the detectives of the anti-graft agency at about 11:15am in relation to a case of alleged diversion of over N25 billion tax remittances.
A source at the Commission said the NDDC official was still with the operatives as at 7:15pm when this report was filed.
