Nigeria’s antigraft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says a governor from North-Central withdrew N60 billion in cash within the last six years.
EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, who disclosed this in the latest edition of the Commission’s magazine, however, did not mention the name of the particular Northern governor.
Bawa said: “I can tell you for free that the new Department of Intelligence that we have created is working wonders.
“They have come up with a lot of intelligence. In one of them, a governor in a North-Central state within the last six years (one individual) has withdrawn over N60 billion in cash.
”We are looking at all of that, and I assure you that at the end of all of our investigations, Nigerians are going to be briefed of what we are doing behind the scene on cybercrime, politically exposed persons as well as engaging government agencies to ensure that we have better processes and procedures on how to do government business.”
