Though a report by Punch Newspaper revealed that Dikko is said to be in the United Arab Emirates for undisclosed reasons, he is reportedly on the list of individuals to be arrested once spotted at the Nigerian international airports in Lagos and Abuja.
It was further gathered that this is coming several hours after the men of EFCC had laid siege on Dikko's residence in Abuja.

Reports also revealed that the ex-boss of the Nigerian Customs would be arrested on his arrival back into the country as security agents at airports had been alerted to do so.
However, the EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, is said to have denied the reports saying he has no information on the arrest order of Dikko.
In his words, “I do not have any information on the issue.”
Dikko, who was appointed by ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on August 26, 2009 and retired from service on August 17, 2015, has been under probe following series of allegations bordering on corrupt practices and non remittance of fund to government's coffers.
