EFCC Grills Ex-Sokoto Governor Tambuwal Over Alleged N189bn Cash Withdrawals
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday interrogated former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, over what investigators described as suspicious cash withdrawals totalling ₦189 billion during his administration.
Tambuwal, who arrived at the EFCC Headquarters in Abuja around 11:30 a.m., was still being questioned by operatives at press time.
Sources say the former governor was expected to provide detailed explanations for the alleged financial transactions.
