The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has detained a former prosecutor for the federal government, Charles Adeogun-Philips.
The International Criminal Attorney was arrested outside the agency’s Special Fraud Unit in Ikoyi, Lagos state, where he had been representing a client.
Adeogun-Phillips had been invited to the EFCC office to explain the whereabouts of his client, Dauda Lawal, the APC governorship candidate in Zamfara state.
He stated in a letter to the EFCC last Friday, that Mr. Lawal is currently abroad and requested for more time to respond to the invitation.
