Former Customs chief Abdullahi Inde Dikko is being held by the  Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

He was yesterday quizzed over an alleged N42billion fraud.

Besides, the EFCC has traced how about N2.6billion was withdrawn from Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) coffers and remitted into the accounts of some companies floated by a  former Assistant Comptroller General who served under Dikko.
