Mr Lucky Igbinedion, has been arrested by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), over alleged criminal diversion of public funds to the tune of N1.6bn.
The former Edo governor arrived at the headquarters of the EFCC, at Jabi, Abuja, on Thursday and is still being quizzed as of the time of filing this report.
Shortly after his exit as governor in 2007, Igbinedion was prosecuted by the EFCC and convicted of corruption.
But the new investigation, according to a source at the anti-graft agency, was based on fresh evidence against him.
The source said that the former governor diverted a loan obtained by the Edo State Government to finance an investment during his tenure, to settle the financially indebtedness of a company in which he had interest.
Igbinedion was replaced as Edo helmsman by Prof Osaremhen Osunbur, who was later ousted by Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
