The anti-graft agency has sent an invitation letter to the immediate past Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Mr. Kingsley Kuku, for questioning on July 28.

In the letter signed by the Head of Economic Governance, Olufunke Adetayo Ogunbode, EFCC says it is conducting an inquiry into a case of conspiracy, stealing, diversion of public funds and abuse of public office involving the amnesty office.

However Kuku said he's not in the country at the moment.

“I’m currently in the U.S for an urgent surgery on my knee and will certainly return to honour the EFCC invitation once I recuperate in September. The record of my stewardship under the Presidential Amnesty Programme is an open document and it is available for scrutiny since I have nothing to hide about what we did,” he said.
