Mr. Miebi Bribena, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in
Bayelsa State, has been reportedly arrested by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission over alleged contract scam at the
Presidential Amnesty Programme.
Bribena, said to be a major
beneficiary of the PAP Amnesty, was arrested early on Wednesday by
operatives of the anti-graft agency.
He was said to have be taken
to the agency’s headquarters in Wuse in the Federal Capital Territory,
Abuja, where he was quizzed for several hours.
He was still being detained at the EFCC office as of the time of this report.
It
was learnt that Bribena was being interrogated over allegations that he
absconded after collecting huge mobilisation fees from the Amnesty
office without executing the contract for which he was paid.
Bribena
was said to have collected about 95 per cent of the contract sum but
that nothing was on the ground to justify the amount collected.
The
Director, Media and Publicity, Sylva-Igiri Campaign Organisation, Chief
Nathan Egba, while reacting to Bribena’s arrest, said he had not been
fully briefed on the matter.
He, however, clarified that Bribena was not a spokesman for Sylva but a member of the APC.
“If
the arrest is true, it means that Muhammadu Buhari is a President who
does not shield anybody from corruption, irrespective of whether you are
an APC member or not. However, I have not been fully briefed on the
matter,” he said.
