Udom Emmanuel, a former governor of Akwa Ibom State, has been detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operations for allegedly committing N700 billion fraud.

Emmanuel was detained after the EFCC invited him to respond to allegations that the Network against Corruption and Trafficking had laundered and diverted money from his account on Tuesday.

The petitioner claimed that Emmanuel left a 500 billion debt load and unpaid ongoing projects worth 300 billion dollars after receiving N3 trillion from the Federation Account in eight years. Additionally, it is said that he was allegedly incapable of keeping N700 billion accountable.
