Shema, who wore brown Babaringa entered the EFCC building where he spent some hours before he was transferred to EFCC office at No.10, Niafounke Street, Wuse, Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent, Abuja for further interrogation.
Speaking with journalists on the development, his former chief of staff, who noted that his principal took the step because, “he’s a law-abiding citizen who has absolutely nothing to fear.”

Yusuf said: “The former governor of Katsina State, Barrister Ibrahim Shema, went to submit himself to the EFCC, even though the Agency has not been fair to him in handling his case by declaring him wanted”.
