Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested Accountant General of the Federation, Mr Ahmed Idris over diversion of funds and money laundering activities to the tune of Eighty Billion Naira.
According to Wilson Uwajeren, Spokesman of EFCC, the Agency’s verified intelligence revealed that the AGF siphoned the funds through bogus consultancies and other illegal activities by using proxies, family members and close associates.
The funds were laundered through real estate investments in Abuja and Kano.
Idris was arrested after he failed to honour invitations by the EFCC to respond to issues connected to the fraudulent acts.
