The suspect, Abnedgo Don- Evarada, was arrested on
Monday in Port- Harcourt, Rivers State for offering a bribe of N10million(
Ten Million Naira) to the EFCC's Zonal Head in Port- Harcourt, Mr Ishaq Salihu.
Don-Evarada ran into trouble when he approached Salihu,
over a case involving the Senior Special Assistant to the Bayelsa's state
governor on Millennium Development Goals, Apere Embelakpo and his wife, Fiene
Beauty.
Embelakpo is being investigated for alleged diversion of
N800million( Eight Hundred Million Naira only), being funds meant for
the Millennium Development Goals, MDG, while his wife is being
investigated for alleged money laundering, forgery and suspicious transactions
to the tune of N200million( Two Hundred Million Naira only). Don- Evarada offered
the bribe ostensibly to compromise the EFCC investigation but his overture was
turned down and was arrested.
He is being kept in the custody of the EFCC and would be
charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded.
