BREAKING: EFCC Apprehends Ex-Governor Over Alleged N27bn Fraud
Former Taraba State Governor Darius Ishaku has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged N27 billion fraud.
Ishaku was apprehended at his Abuja residence early Friday and is currently in EFCC custody.
Reports indicate that Ishaku will face at least 15 charges in court once the evidence is compiled.
“Yes, he’s in our custody right now. We have been investigating him covertly since he left as the State governor. There a lot of financial malfeasance he perpetrated,” the source said.
The spokesman of the EFCC, Dele Oyewale, while confirming the development, declined further comments, when contacted by the paper.
His arrest comes following the heels of ongoing face-off between EFCC and the former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, who was reported to have looted N80.2bn.
