Former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal is in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), at its Abuja corporate headquarters.
A credible source said that the former speaker of the Federal House of Representatives was being held over alleged fraudulent cash withdrawals to the tune of N189 billion.
According to the source, the withdrawals were in flagrant violation of the Money Laundering (Prevention & Prohibition) Act, 2022.
“The governor arrived the EFCC’s headquarters around 11:30 a.m. to face interrogators on the alleged financial crime”, the source said.
When contacted, EFCC’s Spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, declined comments on the development.
