The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has granted
administrative bail to Hassan Tukur, the principal secretary to former
President Goodluck Jonathan.
Tukur had been in detention for several
days for allegedly diverting $40 million he obtained to negotiate the
release of more than 200 Chibok schoolgirls abducted by Islamist
insurgents belonging to Boko Haram.
Saharareporters quoted a
source as saying that Tukur was detained and interrogated on charges
that included his reported pocketing of about $35 million out of $40
million budgeted for negotiating the release of Chibok girls.
The
source said Tukur was released yesterday, but ordered to report to the
EFCC’s headquarters in Abuja whenever he was required to do so.
