Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have reportedly arrested the Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi, over alleged money laundering offences involving about ₦500 billion.

A source within the anti-graft agency, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to comment on the matter, said Abdullahi was arrested in Abuja and is currently in EFCC custody.

“We have arrested the Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi, for money laundering offences. He was arrested and is currently in our custody. The money is to the tune of ₦500bn,” the source said.

As of the time of filing this report, efforts to obtain official confirmation from the EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, were unsuccessful, as he could not be reached.

President Bola Tinubu appointed Abdullahi as Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria on October 24, 2023.

Further details are expected as the investigation unfolds.
