A former Accountant General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of deceiving him into accepting a N109 billion fraud allegation against himself.
Idris claimed that the EFCC tricked him, stating that they wanted to use him to implicate the minister of finance and some governors.
In a statement dated May 16, 2022, Idris alleged that the EFCC promised his information would not be used against him. However, during cross-examination, the prosecution witness denied giving such assurances and insisted the statements were willingly made by the defendants. The trial involves charges of stealing and criminal breach of trust.
