A few days after operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrested Mr. Ahmed Idris the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF), in connection with an alleged diversion of funds and money laundering activities to the tune of N80billion, fresh facts have emerged that more officials might soon be picked up by the anti-graft agency.
According to the anti-graft agency, the investigation showed that the AGF raked in the funds through bogus consultancies and other illegal activities, using proxies, family members, and close associates. The funds, according to EFCC, were laundered through real estate investments in Kano and Abuja.
Mr. Idris was arrested after failing to honor invitations by the EFCC to respond to issues connected to the fraudulent acts. A competent source in EFCC who pleaded not to be named told Saturday Sun that more staff, highly-placed persons, and other interested government officials involved in the financial heist, will be arrested soon.
