EFCC PLACES NORTHERN GOVERNOR ON WATCH-LIST OVER ALLEGED WITHDRAWAL OF N60BN
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has placed an unnamed Northern Governor in Nigeria on its watch-list for allegedly withdrawing cash to the tune of N60 billion since he became Governor of the State in 2015.
EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, revealed this in the latest edition of the commission’s magazine “EFCC ALERT” on Sunday December 12.
Bawa stated that Nigerians would get details of the cash manipulations with impunity once the Governor’s tenure is over.
The EFCC boss disclosed that the cash manipulations were exposed through the newly inaugurated Intelligence Department of the commission.
He said; “I can tell you for free that the new Department of Intelligence that we have created is working wonders.
“They have come up with a lot of intelligence. In one of them, a governor in a North-Central state within the last six years (one individual) has withdrawn over N60 billion in cash.
“We are looking at all of that, and I assure you that at the end of all of our investigations, Nigerians are going to be briefed of what we are doing behind the scene on cybercrime, politically exposed persons as well as engaging government agencies to ensure that we have better processes and procedures on how to do government business.’’
