Some pastors have turned up at the Asokoro home of the deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, to offer him special prayers days after he was grilled by anti-graft agency, EFCC.
Photographs published on Twitter showed the pastors placing their hands on the PDP senator, who was on his knees.
Ekweremadu was recently interrogated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for alleged money laundering and properties acquired in Nigeria, United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates.

According to an EFCC source, Ekweremadu was released by the anti-graft agency after he complained of being ill and having high blood pressure. He is expected to return to EFCC office for more grilling.
In one of the photographs, the unsmiling senator listened to preaching by one of the clergymen.
The trending photographs have generated reactions on Twitter.
