The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed 14 new charges against former Kwara State Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed and his former Commissioner for Finance over an alleged N5.78 billion fraud. The charges, which are related to financial misappropriation during Ahmed’s tenure as governor, focus on the alleged diversion and laundering of state funds.
The EFCC is accusing the former governor and the commissioner of engaging in fraudulent activities that involved the transfer of state funds for personal gain. This development comes as part of the commission’s broader efforts to tackle corruption and ensure accountability among public officials.
The case is expected to proceed to court, where the former governor and his commissioner will have the opportunity to defend themselves against the charges. This latest move reflects the EFCC’s ongoing focus on fighting corruption, especially in high-profile cases involving former public officials.
