The Economic and Financial Crimes Comission (EFCC) has arrested the immediate past Governor of Kwara State, Abdulfatah Ahmed.
Ahmed has been under interrogation for hours at the EFCC headquarters in Jabi, Abuja, over alleged diversion of N9billion by his administration.
He arrived the EFCC headquarters at about 10am on Monday, in response to the invitation extended to him by the agency.
According to Punch, a reliable source said, “Ahmed has been in the interrogation room writing statements for the past seven hours in connection to the N9billion diverted from the coffers of Kwara state government during his tenure as governor of Kwara state between 2011 and 2019, and his time as commissioner for finance in the administration of Bukola Saraki, the former senate president.”
Spokesman of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed that the former governor responded to the Commission’s invitation but declined further comment.
