An
Executive Director in charge of Public Affairs at the First Bank Plc,
Dauda Lawal has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) for allegedly helping former Nigeria
Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, launder about $55million.
A source at the agency in Lagos told
SaharaReporters that Mr. Lawal has confessed to laundering $25 million
for the oil minister, but investigators said he's yet to disclose in
full how much was involved.
However, a First Bank
source said that the bank was not involved in handling the cash for
which Mr. Lawal was arrested, claiming he acted in his "private
capacity" as a long-time friend of the former minister who is now in
London.
