BREAKING: EFCC Detains Former Sokoto Governor Tambuwal— Reason
Former Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, is currently in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged illegal cash withdrawals amounting to ₦189 billion.
The transactions are believed to breach the provisions of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022.
Tambuwal reportedly arrived at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja around 11:30 a.m. on Monday, where investigators are questioning him over suspected unauthorised withdrawals of public funds during his tenure.
A senior EFCC official, speaking anonymously, disclosed that the investigation, which has been ongoing for months, centres on suspicious transactions said to have violated the Money Laundering Act.
EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, stated that no official comments would be made until the interrogation is concluded.
Tambuwal, a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), served as governor from 2015 to 2023 and was previously Speaker of the House of Representatives.
