In recent developments, an additional $2.2bn has been purportedly involved in money laundering, fund diversion, and misappropriation. This amount was allegedly diverted by individuals including former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki; the late media mogul, Raymond Dokpesi; former Sokoto State governor, Attahiru Bafarawa; and former Minister of State for Finance, Bashir Yuguda, among others.

According to the EFCC, the funds originally intended for arms procurement in support of the fight against terrorism were laundered, diverted, and misappropriated. Notably, during Sambo Dasuki’s custody by the Department of State Services in 2015, the EFCC apprehended Dokpesi, Bafarawa, Yuguda, and others based on indictments from a presidential committee investigating arms procurement during former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration. The committee revealed that approximately $2.2bn was redirected for purposes other than arms procurement.

The individuals under investigation encompass former Ekiti State governors Kayode Fayemi and Ayo Fayose, ex-Zamfara State governor Bello Matawalle, two former Enugu State governors Chimaroke Nnamani and Sullivan Chime, former Nasarawa State governor Abdullahi Adamu, former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, and others like Peter Odili, Theodore Orji, Danjuma Goje, Aliyu Wamako, Timipre Sylva, and Sule Lamido.

Specifically, Matawalle, the current Minister of Defence, is being probed for an alleged N70bn money laundering; Fayemi faces investigation for an alleged N4bn fraud, while Fayose is under scrutiny for an alleged N6.9bn fraud. Other investigations include Nnamani for an alleged N5.3bn fraud, Chime for an alleged N450m campaign fraud, Adamu for alleged N15bn fraud, Kwakwanso for non-remittance of N10bn pension fund, Orji for alleged N551bn money laundering, Odili for alleged N100bn fraud, Goje for an alleged N5bn fraud, Wammako for allegedly diverting N15bn, Sylva for alleged N19.2bn money laundering, and Lamido for an alleged N1.35bn fraud.

The EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, is overseeing a comprehensive review of all high-profile cases, instructing investigators to treat all individuals equally, irrespective of social or political status. This directive aims to ensure impartiality in the pursuit of justice for those implicated in money laundering cases.
