The money was for airlift of pilgrims to Saudi Arabia by the National Hajj Commission in 2019
The Commission was said to have approached the EFCC which consequently invited Mr. Bankole.
EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the arrest.
As at press time, Bankole was still being detained at the headquarters of the EFCC in Jabi, Abuja.
