Nigeria’s anti-graft agency on Thursday said it has arrested a former political associate of President Muhammadu Buhari as part of an ongoing corruption probe into allegedly bogus arms deals.
Lawal Jafaru Isa, a former Kaduna state military governor under general Sani Abacha, was arrested late Wednesday at his Abuja residence, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission told AFP.
He is the head of state’s first party ally arrested in the probe.
The retired brigadier general was the Kano state governorship candidate for the Congress for Progressives Change (CPC) in the 2011 election. Buhari was the party’s presidential candidate.
