Erstwhile Sokoto
State Governor, Attahiru Bafarawa, has been picked up by the operatives of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
He is being questioned for his alleged role in transferring
money from the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), between December 2014
and May 2015.
This is coming just as the former Minister of State for
Finance, Ambassador Bashir Yuguda, is spending his second day with the EFCC.
Ambassador Yuguda is being quizzed for allegedly receiving
suspicious payments from the office of the former NSA.
In a related development, the former NSA is being
investigated over two billion dollar arms deal.
Some of the monies allegedly
traced to Ambassador Yuguda include 1.2 billion naira paid to him for unclear
reasons.
He is alleged to have also received 775 million naira from
the office of the Accountant General and another 1.275 billion naira from
Stallion Group.
