Reports say Colonel Ojogbane Adegbe, ex-president Goodluck Jonathan’s Aide-de-Camp (ADC), has been arrested.
According to The Will, the arrest of Jonathan’s former ADC, which was confirmed by impeccable sources, was effected on Wednesday, February 10, 2016.

Although the reason he was nabbed by security operatives could not be ascertained as at press time, the reason for the arrest may not be far from the ongoing investigation into how billions of dollars means for the battle against insurgency in the country went missing.
President Muhammadu Buhari, since his emergence, has made the fact finding on the missing money his key priority as many officials of the immediate past administration reportedly swindled the said monies.

The Will stated further that efforts to reach Colonel Kukasheka Usman, the acting director, Army Public Relations, on Wednesday night were unproductive.
However, in a response to a text message sent to him, Colonel Usman reportedly wrote: “I have no idea” to explain that he knows nothing about the arrest.
In the same vein, calls to Wilson Uwujaren, the spokesperson of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission were not picked.
Only recently also, reports surfaced of how former vice president, Namadi Sambo may soon be declared wanted by the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol).
The Telegraph reports that the EFCC is set to seek the cooperation of the international police Sambo alongside with some other officials of Jonathan’s government in bringing them back into Nigeria.
Others are former special adviser to Jonathan on Niger Delta Affairs and the then Chairman of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Kingsley Kuku, as well as the immediate past chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Lamorde.
