EFCC probes Tambuwal over ₦189bn cash withdrawals

Spread the love

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has launched an interrogation on the former Sokoto state governor and serving senator, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, over allegations of authorising ₦189 billion massive cash withdrawals, suspected to be a coordinated breach of anti-money laundering laws.

Source told the News Agency of Nigeria that the withdrawals, allegedly made during Tambuwal’s 2015–2023 tenure, were “flagrant, systematic, and unprecedented,” raising strong suspicions of large-scale diversion of state funds.

The former governor was reportedly taken into EFCC custody at the Commission’s Abuja headquarters around 11:30 a.m. on Monday for questioning.

Investigators are seeking answers on the origin, purpose, and beneficiaries of the funds, which they believe violated provisions of the Money Laundering (Prevention & Prohibition) Act, 2022.

The EFCC has yet to release an official statement, with spokesperson Dele Oyewale declining comment, citing the sensitivity of the ongoing probe.
