Audu is a former governorship aspirant in Kogi State.
The suspect was arrested on Tuesday, February 18, 2020 for allegedly diverting the funds to the tune of several millions of US Dollars and billions of Naira, which were donated to the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF, to his personal use, the EFCC said in a statement on Thursday.
