The former Customs boss is being investigated over the source of the funds with which he acquired his Abuja mansion.
“There is also a further allegation that he diverted over N40bn from Customs coffers. The funds were allegedly drawn from proceeds of the 7% cost of collection and 1% comprehensive import supervision scheme,” an EFCC source said.
The source also said that Dikko would expectedly be tried when his health gets better.
