Nigerians have taken to the social media to air their views about the development.     

Most Nigerians expressed satisfaction at the development. Some, however, see witch-hunting carried out by President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

This a good independence gift to the citizens of Nigeria, ab1x said via Nairaland.

Details of her arrest is still sketchy, so lets keep our fingers crossed. And please Ladies and gentlemen, i no wan hear Witch or Wizard hunting ooo. No appetite for another Saraki similar like drama. Allow her to defend herself - blazetitov

FatIjeomaOkolie had a mouthful:

"This is the beginning of the end for one of the biggest thieves ever to serve as Minister. She fed fat on Nigeria's oil wealth while leaving majority of Nigerians to wallow in Poverty. Now she will pay the price for her greed and crime.

"Buhari is the best thing to happen to this country. Any time he travels out to the UK or US, you hear wailing wailers shouting like im.beciles but they dont know that Baba is doing his work slow and steady. Change has come to Nigeria"

Opeyemi Luqmon via facebook: Remain okonjo...Fani Kayode, Okupe, nd Abati...dey shld come nd serve in Kirikiri not London

Chike Uzor via FB: Last time I checked IBB, ABACHA, ATIKU, ABDULSALLAM, UMARU DIKO, OBJ, DRUG BARON TINUBU with Toronto certificate and GMB are not Biafrans. If buhari is sincere in fighting corruption he should start with this international thieves including himself. Who is fooling who. Hypocrite d zoo must fall. Biafra we stand. Parasite north and lazy yorubas.

Freedom Banks Witchhunts at the top, boko haram by the side, fulani herdsmen downwards, almajiris in front, money changers by the corner. Nigeria is finished!

Hon Ayewoh Ambrose Oyakhilome Stealing is becoming corruption in Nigeria under Buhari. This is a very good one.

Peter Akubue Yes,finally.I am happy for the development.I dont even like her to be arrested by our EFCC because they will just mess the adequate justice system up on this special fraudulent woman.
