Ex-Presidential Aide Arrested Over Bribery Allegations Against Senate
Alwan Hassan, a former presidential aide, was detained after accusing Senate officials of obstructing the confirmation of Abdullahi Garba Ramat as NERC Chairman through bribery demands. The arrest stemmed from claims made by Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, leading to a political controversy.
Hassan also alleged a demand for a $10 million bribe for Ramat's confirmation, which the Senate swiftly rejected as baseless. The incident highlights corruption allegations within Nigeria's political landscape, involving key figures like Bola Tinubu.
