Wife of Mr Femi Fani-Kayode, Mrs Precious, was on Monday detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The woman was kept in custody alongside her eight-month-old child.
According to reports, Mrs Fani-Kayode was in Ado Ekiti as a guest of Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State.
She had gone to an Access Bank branch in Ado Ekiti, the state capital, around 3pm for transactions when she was detained by officials of the bank.
When the woman sensed she was not being promptly attended to, she queried the officials reason for the delay and was then informed that she was being detained on the instruction of the anti-graft agency.
Her husband, who is a former Minister of Aviation and member of the opposition Peoples Democratic party (PDP), has been critical of President Muhammadu Buhari’s government.
