Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are searching the Abuja residence of Shehu Sani, a former senator.
According to report, EFCC officials arrived his residence located in Wuse 2, Abuja, around 3:30pm.
Recall that anti-graft agency arrested Sani last week over alleged extortion, for collecting $20,000 from Sani Dauda, owner of ASD Motors on the ground that he is very close to the EFCC boss.
He also reportedly said he could assist Dauda in influencing the outcome of some cases using his connection with the chief justice of Nigeria and some other judges.
The CJN had distanced himself from Sani, saying he has never had anything to do with the former senator.
