The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has detained a former governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, for questioning over alleged fraudulent cash withdrawals to the tune of ₦189 billion.
It said the withdrawals were in flagrant violation of the Money Laundering (Prevention & Prohibition) Act, 2022.
A source at the commission who declined to be named confirmed the incident on Monday.
It was learnt that Tambuwal arrived at the EFCC Abuja corporate headquarters at about 11:30 am and is still facing interrogators on the alleged financial crime.
EFCC’s Spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, however, declined to comment on the matter.
