Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested two Chinese for offering the sum of N100m as bribe to the Zonal head of the anti-graft agency in Sokoto State, Mr. ABDULLAHI LAWAL.

The EFCC in a series of tweets yesterday said that the Chinese men arrested on Monday in Sokoto state would be charged to court soon.

According to the EFCC, the sum was allegedly offered in a desperate bid to compromise ongoing investigations of a Chinese construction company which was handling N50bn contracts awarded by Zamfara State Government between 2012 and 2019.

The zonal office of the Commission is investigating the construction company, in connection with the construction of township roads in Gummi, Bukkuyun, Anka and Nassarawa towns; and also the construction of 168 solar-powered boreholes in the 14 local government areas of the state.

On Monday, it was reported that the two representatives of the company MENG WEI KUN and XU KUOI offered ABDULLAHI LAWAL N50m in first installment in their office along airport road, Sokoto.
