Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has been arrested again by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
9NEWS NIGERIA gathered that Saraki was arrested by the commission over allegations of theft and money laundering.
He was detained on Saturday sources familiar with the development said.
As senate president between 2015 and 2019, Mr Saraki spent a considerable time facing allegations of corruption and false declaration of assets. He was acquitted by the Supreme Court in June 2018.
However, in his new case with the EFCC Saraki is to answer questions over alleged theft and laundering of public funds using a network of cronies and proxy companies.
The suspected proxies, who executed purported contracts for Kwara State under Mr Saraki, allegedly made returns, for many years, to the former governor, forming an organised a network of dirty money flow.
The funds involved were huge, running into hundreds of millions in naira and hundreds of thousands in foreign currencies at various times, sources said.
