The Economics and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has returned the embattled Senator who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District, between 2015-2019, Senator Shehu Sani, to their custody after searching through his two houses and his office in Abuja.
It was gathered that the search was part of the ongoing probe of the former legislator for alleged extortion of $24,000 from Alhaji Sani Dauda.
It was also gathered the Anti-Graft agency obtained a search warrant from a Chief Magistrate’s Court before carrying out the searches.
It was further gathered that the EFCC took evidence from the wife of the businessman, who confirmed that Sani met with her husband in their home.
Dauda, also in his petition to the EFCC, had claimed that the former senator demanded N4m from him to give to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, and other four judges to influence some pending cases in court.
But the CJN on Sunday had denied links with Shehu Sani.
Sani, a fiery critic of the government, has consistently maintained his innocence.
