The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday arrested the Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Uche Secondus.

The Head, Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujiaren, confirmed the arrest to THISDAY in Abuja.

‘’It is true; he is right now (4:30pm) in our office for interrogation’’, Mr. Uwujiaren stated.

Earlier, the Director, New Media of the PDP Adeyanju Deji, had announced Secondus’s arrest on Wednesday through his twitter handle @adeyanjudeji.

According to Adeyanju, the EFCC had asked Secondus to return some buses he received from an unnamed person.

A top official of the anti-graft agency told Vanguard in confidence that the 25 exotic card worth overt N300 million were discovered in the course of interrogating Omokore, who had been in EFCC detention for the second week over bogus oil deals worth billions of Naira.

Secondus was the Acting National Chairman of the PDP until Monday last week, when he handed over to the newly appointed party National Chairman, Alhaji Ali-Modu Sheriff.

The National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, recently regained his freedom after a protracted incarceration by the anti-graft agency. He was accused of receiving N400 million from a former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd).
