EFCC arrests ex-SGF Pius Anyim

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed the arrest of former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim.

EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren confirmed his arrest on Friday.

He said Anyim was being held over an “ongoing investigation” but refused to give details.

However, Anyim had been linked to alleged involvement in fraud in the execution of the multi-billion dollars Centenary City Project.

The Centenary City Project was initiated by former President Jonathan to mark the 100 years of amalgamation of Nigeria’s Southern and Northern protectorate by Britain.

Anyim was alleged to own about 3, 000 acres of land at the centenary city.

In 2012, Anyim was also linked to N396 billion Ecological Funds deductions.

He was later invited by the Senate Committee on Special Duties and House Committee on Environment to provide details of how money for the Ecological Fund office was spent.
