The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday interrogated former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal over alleged fraudulent cash withdrawals totalling N189 billion.
Tambuwal, who served as governor from 2015 to 2023, arrived at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja around 11:30 a.m. and was taken in for questioning.
According to an EFCC source, the withdrawals allegedly violated provisions of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022. Another official confirmed Tambuwal remains in custody as investigations continue.
The EFCC has yet to issue an official statement on the matter.
