N80bn Fraud: EFCC Arrests Accountant-General of Federation, Ahmed Idris

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested the accountant-general of the federation Ahmed Idris over alleged diversion and laundering of N80 billion.

EFCC spokesman Wilson Uwujaren in a statement on Monday alleged that Idris raked off the funds through bogus consultancies, real estate and other illegal activities using proxies, family members and close associates.

He explained that Idris was arrested after he failed to honour invitations by the EFCC to respond to issues connected to the fraudulent acts.

“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,” the statement said.
