Abnedgo Don-Evarada, a former senior special assistant on media to Bayelsa stategovernor, Seriake Dickson, has been arrested by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Don-Evarada was arrested on Monday in Port-Harcourt, Rivers state, for offering a bribe of N10m to Ishaq Salihu, EFCC’s zonal head in the state.
According to a statement by EFCC, Don-Evarada ran into trouble when he approached Salihu over a case involving Apere Embelakpo, senior special assistant to the Bayelsa state governor on millennium development goals, and his wife, Fiene Beauty.
Embelakpo is being investigated for alleged diversion of N800m, 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 N200m.
“Don-Evarada offered the bribe ostensibly to compromise the EFCC investigation but his overture was turned down and [he] was arrested,” read the EFCC statement.
“He is being kept in the custody of the EFCC and would be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded.”
