Abdullahi was reportedly arrested on Wednesday and is currently being held by the anti-graft agency as investigations continue.

A source within the commission disclosed that the Energy Commission boss was interrogated for several hours by EFCC investigators over the alleged fraud.

According to the source, the case involves alleged financial misconduct estimated at N500bn.

“We have arrested the Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, Dr Mustapha Abdullahi, for alleged money laundering offences,” the source said.

“He is currently in our custody. Investigators questioned him till evening on Wednesday, and he remains detained while further interrogations continue.”

Efforts to get official confirmation from the spokesperson for the EFCC, Dele Oyewale, were unsuccessful as calls and messages to him were not answered at the time of filing this report.

President Bola Tinubu appointed Abdullahi as Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria on October 24, 2023.
