Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Tuesday arrested former governor of Jigawa State Saminu Turaki.

Turaki was in 2013 declared wanted by a Federal High Court sitting in Dutse, the Jigawa state capital.

The former governor is being investigated by the anti-graft agency for allegedly mismanaging the state’s funds while he was governor.

It is reported that Turaki has been evading court appearance for his prosecution following which the court issued an arrest warrant.
