EFCC Arrests Former Governor Aminu Tambuwal Over Alleged ₦189 Billion Fraud (VIDEO)
Former Sokoto State Governor and current serving senator Aminu Tambuwal has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged illicit cash withdrawals amounting to ₦189 billion. Sources confirmed that Tambuwal is currently in EFCC custody in Abuja, being interrogated in connection with a massive financial scandal that reportedly occurred during his tenure as governor.
The arrest comes amidst criticism of the EFCC's investigation approach, with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) accusing the agency of politically motivated selective prosecution. The EFCC has not yet released an official statement regarding Tambuwal's arrest, sparking political debate and concerns about enforcement bias.
The video of the arrest can be watched on NewsOnline Nigeria's website.
