The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Monday interrogated former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, over alleged suspicious cash withdrawals amounting to N189 billion during his administration.
Tambuwal reportedly arrived at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja around 11:30 a.m. and was still being questioned as of press time.
It was unclear whether he would be detained overnight.
An EFCC source said the former governor is under investigation for “alleged fraudulent cash withdrawals to the tune of N189 billion,” describing the transactions as a clear breach of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022.
“We have isolated all the allegations for Tambuwal; it is left to him to respond,” the source added.
EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, declined to comment on the ongoing probe.
