The commission's spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, in a telephone interview with SaharaReporters, said the embattled former representative is still being interrogated on the corruption issues in which he is allegedly involved, following which he will be formally charged taken to court.
''You know he was arrested late yesterday night. So by this night it will make 24 hours,'' Mr Babafemi said. ''He is still being interrogated. From here most likely he will be taken to court.''
The EFCC arrested Mr. Bankole on Sunday night. Corrupt Nigerian officials, especially of the ruling party, are rarely taken to court. When they are, they are rarely efficiently prosecuted in order to let them benefit from legal technicalities. They are then conveniently let off to enjoy their loot and become even more powerful
