The Accountant General of the Federation, Mr. Ahmed Idris, is now a guest of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) following allegations of diversion of funds and money laundering activities to the tune of N80billion.
According to the EFCC, the Commission’s verified intelligence showed that the AGF raked off the funds through bogus consultancies and other illegal activities using proxies, family members, and close associates.
EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren revealed that the funds were laundered through real estate investments in Kano and Abuja.
“Mr. Idris was arrested after failing to honour invitations by the EFCC to respond to issues connected to the fraudulent acts,” Uwujaren stated.
