Contrary to some media reports that the chief executive officers of Zenith Bank, Providus Bank and Jaiz Bank were arrested and detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday, in connection with an alleged fraud in the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.
THE WITNESS reliably gathered that they have since departed the anti-graft agency office in Abuja.
A source at the EFCC who confided in our correspondent said that the bank chiefs were only invited to hand over documents relating to accounts operated by the ministry to help in its investigation of the alleged financial sleaze.
