A statement signed by the EFCC’s Spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren said that the suspect, Don- Evarada, was reportedly nabbed on Monday.
Don-Evarada reportedly ran into trouble when he allegedly approached Salihu, over a case involving the Senior Special Assistant to the Bayelsa’s state governor on Millennium Development Goals, Apere Embelakpo and his wife, Fiene Beauty.
The EFCC is investigating Embelakpo for alleged diversion of N800million meant for MDG and his wife for alleged money laundering, forgery and suspicious transactions to the tune of N200million.

Don- Evarada was said to have offered the bribe ostensibly to compromise the EFCC investigation but his overture was said to have been turned down.
It was learnt that the suspect was kept in the custody of the EFCC and would be charged to Court after investigation.
