A former governor of Edo State, Lucky Igbinedion has been detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The Publisher Nigeria gathered that Igbinedion who finished his tenure as governor in 2007 is being grilled at the Abuja headquarters of the EFCC for allegedly diverting public funds to the tune of N1.6 billion.
