Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC,  on Monday, 16th May, 2022, arrested serving Accountant General of the Federation, Mr. Ahmed Idris, in connection with  diversion of funds and money laundering  activities to the tune of N80billion (Eighty Billion Naira) only.

The Commission’s verified intelligence showed that the AGF raked off the funds through bogus consultancies and other illegal activities using proxies, family members and close associates.

The funds were laundered through real estate investments in Kano and Abuja.

Mr. Idris was arrested after failing to honour invitations by the EFCC to respond to issues connected to the fraudulent acts.
