The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Patricia Etteh over alleged raud involving a Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, contract.
Etteh was arrested on Tuesday by operatives of the anti-graft agency in Abuja for interrogation.
Etteh was elected Speaker in 2007 but resigned after a few months amid allegations of financial misapplication.
She is the only woman in the country’s history to have been elected Speaker.
On Monday, the EFCC had also arrested the Accountant-General of the Federation, AGF, Ahmed Idris over alleged N80 billion fraud.
