Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday, arrested serving Accountant General of the Federation (AGoF), Idris Ahmed in connection with diversion of funds and money laundering activities to the tune of N80billion.
The antigraft agency, in a statement signed by its Spokesperson, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said the Commission’s verified intelligence showed that the AGF raked off the funds through bogus consultancies and other illegal activities using proxies, family members and close associates.
The stolen funds according to EFCC were laundered through real estate investments in Kano and Abuja. Idris Ahmed was arrested after failing to honour invitations by the EFCC to respond to issues connected to the fraudulent acts.
