Former Sokoto Governor Aminu Tambuwal Arrested By EFCC Over N189 Billion Fraud Allegations
Former Sokoto State governor Aminu Tambuwal is currently in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over allegations of fraudulent cash withdrawals totaling N189 billion.
The withdrawals are reportedly in violation of the Money Laundering (Prevention & Prohibition) Act, 2022.
Tambuwal arrived at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja around 11:30 a.m. on Monday, where he is being questioned by investigators.
A senior EFCC official, speaking anonymously, revealed that Tambuwal is under scrutiny for suspicious transactions during his time in office, including alleged unauthorized withdrawals of public funds.
“These withdrawals clearly breach the Money Laundering Act,” the source stated, noting that the probe has been ongoing for several months.
EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale declined to comment until the interrogation is complete.
Tambuwal, a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), governed Sokoto State from 2015 to 2023 and previously served as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
More information is expected as the investigation progresses.
