Nkanga was arrested in connection with the $115m which the former minister of petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke allegedly used to bribe some officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The former minister reportedly asked the former Managing Director (MD) of Fidelity bank PLC, Mr. Nnamdi Okonkwo to help handle the disbursements of funds.
Diezani’s son, Ugonna Madueke was also accused of overseeing all the payments.

An EFCC source who spoke to Premium Times about the PDP chieftain’s arrest, said “He is in the custody of the EFCC and would be charged to court soon.”
Senator Chris Anyanwu was also mentioned as a beneficiary of the ex minister’s largesse.
The Senator however denied the allegations saying a bullet should be put in her head if she’s found guilty of taking the money.
