•Passport seized
From FRED ITUA, Abuja
Former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, has regained freedom after spending more than 14 hours in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The former apex bank chief was on Thursday morning arrested by EFCC operatives and quizzed for several hours by the anti-graft body over his involvement in the alleged N750million polymer contract scam. According to the Commission’s spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, Soludo was granted administrative bail at about 10pm on Thursday.
Part of the bail deal was that he produces two sureties who must be either Directors, Permanent secretaries in the Federal Civil Service, or its equivalent. The commission also seized the international passport of Soludo to avoid attempt to jump prosecution. Sources at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja however informed our correspondent that it was temporary freedom for the former apex bank boss, adding that he would soon be invited by the EFCC for further interrogation.
The source said: ”He was eventually allowed to go on Thursday. I think he left in the evening. But that is not the end of the matter; he is also expected back for further interrogation.”
Soludo, although you may not be a saint, this particular arrest is political. I believe you are the first victim of Anambra 2014. Let us watch who the next victim will be.
Even you soludo,wonders shall never end
That’s the end of the matter. EFCC, wayo organization.
EFCC, this is pure act of cowardice on your part, you are holding a man after 4 yrs of meritorious service to his father land and you believe you can come out now to tarnish his hard earned reputation, your toothless bull dog agency must fail. This outfit is only used politically to chase vendetta.
This not the first time you arrest and interrogate people who embezzle our money without execution.How did the case of former speaker of House of Rep. ended?To hell with all these rubbish.
EFCC my foot.u people are pick & drop danfo bus.this is surely political,if not why did it take the orgernisation over 4 yrs to pick on Soludo?let’s see u prosecute the known thieves first.

An organizatn lik efcc shld nt be dragged to the mud lik dis,hw can dey be used to play dirty nija politics? Soludo has a clean record so govt shld nt hid under any guise to rubish his reputatn.
The arrest of soludo is politically motivated. Some people want to drag his name in d mud ahead of Anambra state governorship election. They are afraid of him.
This is a shame, EFCC arresting Soludo! EFCC and those using it should hide their faces in shame. No person in his right senses should make excuses for the former CBN governor if he was involved in corrupt practice. Can the EFCC and it’s political owners tell the world, if they think Nigerians don’t matter, what they have done with the list of those involved in the Halliburton, Siemens and other bribery scandals? What about all those in NNPC and Ministry of Petroleum Resources involved in the fuel subsidy scandal ?
I repeat, I am not defending Prof. Soludo. If he is involved in bribery, he should go in for it but nobody should fool himself telling Nigerians CBN officials are arrested when you have so many similar scandals that happened earlier but remain unattended to even in the face of threats from the USA.
I wept witout control d very first day i saw in vanguard news dt Soludo has joined Anambra gubernatorial election. I’m bereft of any university degree but then i knew quite well dt he has taken a serious wrong decision. “SOLUTION”, dt is d price u hv to pay for joining politics and having d leverage to criticize d economic policy of Jonathan during their 2011 campaign where u worked as economic think-tank for Atiku group in ur revenge against Jonathan for quickly congratulating Peter Obi through Akunyili d then Information minister. You, after then challenged Olusegun Aganga d then minister for finance during dt campaign period to a three hours televised debate for calling u names as d brain behind Atiku’s information on economic/financial situation of d country. I knew they must fight back and this is d time “2014″ gubernatorial election if not what is 750m. Prof and only Prof as far as Economics is concern in ds country , you still command my respect.
It just a soap opera after all we all watch seasons film.
