It was learnt that the Ekere got wind of a close up on him by EFCC and voluntarily reported at the Lagos office of the commission

A top source in the commission, who spoke in confidence, said: “This commission is investigating alleged diversion of N47billion through registered contractors of NDDC.

Some phony contracts were allegedly awarded for diversion purpose.

“Ekere is undergoing interrogation and we have detained him.”
