Fourteen years after Lucky Igbinedion left office as governor of Edo State between 29 May 1999 and 29 May 2007, Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), are still on his trail.
The Edo erstwhile governor is presently in detention facility of the anti-graft agency over N1.6 billion.
He is currently being grilled at the headquarters of the agency Abuja, for allegedly diverting public funds to the tune of N1.6 billion.
A loan obtained by the Edo State government is said to have been diverted to a company which he has an interest in.
It would be recall that Igbinedion was prosecuted in 2008 by the EFCC and convicted of embezzling N2.9 billion belonging to Edo State.
He was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment after he pleaded guilty to a one count charge which was pruned from 191 charges.
Although, the latest invitation was confirmed by the spokesman of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, it has no details.
