The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested an Executive Director of First Bank in charge of Public Affairs, Dauda Lawal, over alleged laundering of $55 million for the former Aviation Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
Lawal confessed to laundering of $25 million for the ex-minister, according to Sahara Reporters.
Reports said First Bank has distanced itself from Lawal, saying the bank didn’t handle the cash for which Lawal was arrested for as he is a long time friend of the ex-minister.
