EFCC Releases Suspended Accountant General
Nigeria’s anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed the release of Mr Ahmed Idris, the suspended Accountant General of the Federation, from its custody.
Mr Wilson Uwujaren, the Head of Media and Public Affairs of the commission said in Abuja that Idris was released after meeting his bail conditions.
The former Accountant-General of the Federation was arrested on May 16 by the EFCC over alleged diversion and laundering of N80 billion.
The EFCC said verified intelligence reports showed that Idris raked off the funds through bogus consultancies and other illegal activities using proxies, family members and close associates.
The commission said the funds were laundered through real estate investments in Kano and Abuja.
