There are indications that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) might write former President Goodluck Jonathan to explain his involvement in the arms scandal.

According to Punch Newspapers, an EFCC source said this is because his name has come up severally during its investigations.

The source reportedly said “You see, this is an investigation. In a situation like this, the commission has a thin chance of not inviting those whose names have been thrown up.

“They have to be invited to make clarifications; it does not necessarily mean that they have been indicted but it is only a standard procedure for them to appear to make clarifications where necessary.”

Adding that “I think by now, Anenih, Bode George and all those who were mentioned during the investigation should have been invited but the commission has not been given the directive to pick them up.

“They know what they are doing. Anytime from now, possibly this week, they will be invited.”

The source also said they will have to receive clearance from President Buhari before they write the former President a letter.
