Details Emerge as EFCC Summons Coalition Leaders Tambuwal, Ihedioha
The EFCC has summoned former Sokoto State governor Aminu Tambuwal and former Imo State governor Emeka Ihedioha for alleged fraudulent cash withdrawals amounting to billions during their respective tenures. Tambuwal, a close ally of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, was detained after failing to provide a satisfactory explanation for the funds withdrawn, which allegedly violated the Money Laundering Prevention and Prohibition Act.
Ihedioha, who served as deputy speaker of the House of Representatives under Tambuwal, was also summoned to explain certain financial transactions during his administration. Both leaders have denied any wrongdoing, with Tambuwal's aide claiming the investigation is politically motivated.
The EFCC has requested documents and interviews from both individuals, with Tambuwal expected to return from abroad to honor the invitation.
