EFCC frees Pius Anyim

The Economic And Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has released a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim, less two days after the agency announced that it has secured a court warrant to detain him for 30 days.

Channels Television learnt that the former SGF has been instructed to report to the commission every two weeks after meeting his bail conditions.

Mr Anyim is being investigated for allegedly collecting N520million from a former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki and awarding contracts worth N13billion to companies he had interests in.



Anyim, who is a former Senate President, is the most senior official under the Jonathan administration to be arrested by the EFCC.

Before now, he had been summoned by the House of Representatives over his role in the controversial centenary city project during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, when he served as the SGF.
