EFCC RELEASES TAMBUWAL AFTER DETENTION

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has released former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal, a day after he was summoned and interrogated at the agency’s Abuja headquarters.

Tambuwal, a political associate of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, was taken into custody on Monday following his arrival at the commission’s office around 11:30 a.m.

He was grilled over allegations of fraudulent cash withdrawals amounting to ₦189 billion.

According to EFCC sources, the investigation is centred on possible breaches of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022. The transactions under scrutiny were reportedly carried out during his tenure as governor from 2015 to 2023.
