The All Progressives Congress (APC) of Nigeria has requested that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrest Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar on corruption charges.

The campaign also gave the EFCC, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), and the Conduct of Conduct Bureau (CCB) a 72-hour deadline to arrest the opposition leader.

Festus Keyamo, the spokesperson for the APC presidential campaign council, requested that the former vice president be arrested on charges of money laundering, violation of the Code of Conduct Act, conspiracy, criminal breach of trust and misappropriation in a petition dated 16 January.

Mr. Keyamo claims that the campaign is responding to allegations made by Michael Achimugu, who claims to be a former aide to the PDP candidate.
