There are indications that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission might not release the spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Olisa Metuh, and others in detention.
It was gathered that the anti-graft agency might not release the detainees until after charges had been prepared.
It was further learnt that operatives were still grilling the suspects as of the time of filing this report by 7.30 pm on Friday.
A top operative, who confided in our correspondent, wondered why the people were talking of granting bail to the suspects when the commission was still at the stage of interrogation with them.
The operative said, “Those people you are talking about are still being detained, they are facing interrogation.
“Nobody can tell you when they are going to be released, may be, that could come up after their charges have been prepared.
“This gives a strong indication that the Spokesman of the PDP, Olisah Metuh, will spend the weekend at the EFCC detention facility.”
Apart from Metuh, the commission is still detaining the former military assistant to the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki. The assistant, who is a serving colonel, is believed to have spent two weeks in detention.
Also, a German believed to have been engaged to facilitate the training of 750 Special Forces in Belarus who was picked up on December 28, 2015, is still waiting to face charges being prepared against him in court.
On Wednesday night, the EFCC arrested a former military administrator of Kaduna State, Jafaru Isah, also in relation to the ongoing investigation into the $2.1 arms procurement probe.
Isah is a close associate of President Muhammadu Buhari. He was the governorship candidate of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change in Kano State, which Buhari founded in 2011 to actualise his presidential ambition.
