EFCC detains Tambuwal over alleged N189bn fraud
Former Sokoto State governor and serving senator, Aminu Tambuwal, is reportedly in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja over allegations of large-scale financial misconduct.
According to TheCable, Tambuwal is being grilled over alleged fraudulent cash withdrawals totaling ₦189 billion, said to contravene provisions of the Money Laundering (Prevention & Prohibition) Act, 2022.
TheCable cannot independently verify the period the withdrawals were made as of the time of filing this report.
Sources within the anti-graft agency said the former governor arrived at the EFCC’s headquarters around 11:30am and faced interrogators on the alleged financial crime.
Tambuwal, a former speaker of the house of representatives, served as the governor of Sokoto from 2015 to 2023.
He was the speaker of the house of representatives from 2011 to 2015.
Dele Oyewale, EFFC’s spokesperson, declined comments on the matter when contacted by TheCable.
