N80 Billion Fraud: EFCC arrests Accountant General, Ahmed Idris

By Ibrahim Adeleke

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested the Accountant General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, over a fraud allegation worth N80 billion.

The commission alleged that Idris was arrested due to a diversion of funds and money laundering activities.

“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 funds were laundered through real estate investments in Kano and Abuja.

“Mr. Idris was arrested after failing to honour invitations by the EFCC to respond to issues connected to the fraudulent acts,” Wilson Uwujaren, Head, Media & Publicity, stated.
