The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested the Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF) AHMED IDRIS over an 80 billion naira fraud. 

EFCC spokesman WILSON UWUJAREN confirmed his arrest in a statement issued on Monday evening.

He said IDRIS was arrested after failing to honor the commission’s invitations to respond to issues connected to the fraudulent act.

According to the EFCC, the funds were laundered via real estate investments in Kano and Abuja.
