The Peace Corps appears to be an enemy of existing government agencies but a darling of lawmakers.
Sunday’s arrest comes three weeks after the first arrest.
“The Corps sold each application form at N1,500 while the training for each youth cost N40,000.”
Mr. Falana says he is negotiating the reopening of the office of the Peace Corps.
The Peace Corps headquarters remains sealed, the police said.
The police, army and SSS raided the Peace Corps headquarters on Tuesday night.
The Peace Corps seeks to be legalised as a government paramilitary agency.
There had been rumours the private Peace Corps would be merged with another.
The bill was passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives last year.
The Senate recently passed the Bill last week.
“We need to allow more participation in the security space," a lawmaker said.
