The EFCC has reopened investigations into money laundering cases involving 13 former governors and some ex-ministers, with the total amounts implicated surpassing N853.8bn. CONTINUE READING
Among those under scrutiny are two former Ekiti State governors, Kayode Fayemi and Ayo Fayose; former Zamfara State governor, Bello Matawalle; two former Enugu State governors, Chimaroke Nnamani and Sullivan Chime; former Nasarawa State governor, Abdullahi Adamu; and former Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
The list continues with former Rivers State governor, Peter Odili; former Abia State governor, Theodore Orji; former Gombe State governor, Danjuma Goje; former Sokoto State governor, Aliyu Wamako; former Bayelsa State governor, Timipre Sylva; and former Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido.
Matawalle, who presently serves as the Minister of Defence in President Bola Tinubu’s administration, faces allegations of N70bn money laundering. Fayemi, former Minister of Solid Minerals Development in ex-President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet, is being investigated for an alleged N4bn fraud. Fayose, a two-term governor of Ekiti State, is under scrutiny for an alleged N6.9bn fraud.
Nnamani is being probed for an alleged N5.3bn fraud; Chime faces investigation over an alleged N450m campaign fraud linked to the N23bn allegedly shared by former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke. Adamu is under investigation for alleged N15bn fraud.
Kwakwanso is being probed for alleged non-remittance of N10bn pension fund; Orji faces investigation over alleged N551bn money laundering. Odili is similarly being investigated for an alleged N100bn fraud; the handling of his case is unclear as he obtained a perpetual injunction in March 2008 restraining the EFCC and other security agencies, which has not been vacated.
Goje is being probed for an alleged N5bn fraud; Wammako is under investigation for allegedly diverting N15bn. Sylva, a former Minister of State for Petroleum under Buhari, is under investigation for alleged N19.2bn money laundering, while Lamido is being investigated over an alleged N1.35bn fraud.
Diezani is also facing investigations over multiple alleged money laundering cases involving several billion naira and millions of dollars.
