BREAKING: EFCC Places Governor On Watch-List

An unnamed Northern governor has been placed on Economic and Financial Crimes Commission watch-list for withdrawing cash to the tune of N60 billion since he became the governor of the state in 2015.

Although the governor’s name was kept under wraps since he still enjoys immunity until May 29, 2023, the EFCC has said that Nigerians will be able to get the details of the cash manipulations with impunity once the North-Central governor’s tenure elapses.

The Chairman of the EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa, made the revelation in the latest edition of the commission’s magazine “EFCC ALERT” made available to Vanguard on Sunday in Abuja.

Bawa explained that the exposure on the looting of the huge cash was made possible through the newly established Intelligence Department of the commission.

“I can tell you for free that the new Department of Intelligence that we have created is working wonders,” Bawa boasted.

“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 In one of them, a governor in a North-Central state within the last six years (one individual) has withdrawn over N60 billion in cash.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,” Bawa said.
