May 17, 2021

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has questioned the immediate past Kwara Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, over alleged diversion of N9billion.

Sources from the anti-graft agency disclosed that the former Governor was brought in and grilled by the crack team of the operatives at the EFCC’ headquaters in Abuja for over 7 hours.

The former Governor arrived the EFCC headquaters in early hours of Monday and this was confirmed by the EFCC Head of Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, who simply said the former Governor responded to the commission’s invitation.

The money was alleged to have been diverted during Ahmed’s tenure as governor of the state, and when he served as the Commissioner for Finance in the administration of former Governor Bukola Saraki.
