Nigerians React as EFCC Arrests Shehu Sani

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Sen. Shehu Sani, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly between 2015 and 2019.

Naija News learnt Sani was arrested for alleged extortion of $20,000 from the owner of ASD Motors.

According to the source, Sani said he collected the $20,000 from the owner of ASD Motors on the grounds that he is very close to the EFCC boss.

“He was subsequently arrested and granted administrative bail while he refunded the money to the victim.”He was asked to report but made himself incommunicado. He may have been scamming a lot of people, dropping the name of the EFCC boss.

However the arrest of the member of 8th National assembly has generated several reactions from social media. Here are the reactions as follow:

There are reports that former Senator and current contender for best blogger of 2019, ”Comrade“ Shehu Sani has just been arrested by the EFCC operatives on a fraudulent related case. There’s a limit to how deceit under the veil of populism can take you. A leopard and spots.

If I am a strong critic of government, I won’t be found in this mess. Come, is Shehu Sani so broke that he thinks extortion was a way out? I can’t wait to hear his defense.
