Ruben Abati, Jonathan’s Former Spokesman Arrested

Reuben Abati, ex-president Jonathan’s former media adviser, was arrested on Monday by operatives from EFCC.

According to a Premium Times report, the former presidential adviser is being questioned for allegedly receiving money from former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.

Mr. Dasuki is currently being tried by the EFCC for his management of arms funds under him.

Mr. Abati’s arrest makes it at least three former aides of former President Jonathan currently in EFCC custody.

A former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, is still with the commission since last week Monday when he voluntarily surrendered himself after staying months away from the country while Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Jonathan campaign spokesperson, was arrested on Friday and is still with the commission.
