Former Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, is currently in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja.
According to TheCable, the serving senator is in detention over alleged fraudulent cash withdrawals to the tune of N189 billion, during his time as governor.
The report quotes sources in the EFCC as saying the former governor arrived at the anti-graft agency’s headquarters around 11:30am and faced interrogators on the alleged financial crime.
Tambuwal, a former speaker of the House of Representatives from 2011 to 2015, served as the governor of Sokoto from 2015 to 2023.
The EFCC has not confirmed the development.
