EFCC detains ex-Sokoto Governor Tambuwal over alleged ₦189bn fraud
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has taken former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, into custody for questioning over alleged fraudulent cash withdrawals amounting to ₦189 billion.
A source within the commission, who spoke to Channels Television on Monday on condition of anonymity, revealed that the transactions allegedly violated the Money Laundering (Prevention & Prohibition) Act, 2022. However, the exact timeframe of the withdrawals has not been confirmed.
Tambuwal reportedly arrived at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja around 11:30 am, where he was interrogated over the alleged financial misconduct. The EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, declined to comment on the case.
Tambuwal, who served as Governor of Sokoto State from 2015 to 2023, was also the Speaker of the House of Representatives between 2011 and 2015.
