A former chairman of the defunct Skye Bank Plc, Tunde Ayeni, has been nabbed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. The anti-graft commission arrested Ayeni on Thursday over an alleged multi-billion naira fraud.
A source hinted that he was picked up in Abuja and is currently in EFCC custody as investigations continue. The EFCC is investigating the alleged diversion and misappropriation of funds estimated at N36.5 billion and $30 million.
It was alleged that he obtained the funds from Polaris Bank Plc through companies linked to him. As of the time of this report, the commission has not issued official communication on the said arrest. But a source familiar with the development said Ayeni is being grilled.
