Abdulfatah Ahmed, a former governor of Kwara State, is being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for transactions totaling billions of naira during his tenure.
The former governor of Kwara was pictured arriving at the anti-graft agency’s Ilorin office on Monday morning.
He was invited by the EFCC and is currently answering questions on how these funds were handled during his government.
Ahmed served as governor of the North Central state from May 2011 to May 2019, when he passed over to Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq.
In May 2021, he was questioned by a crack team of agents at the EFCC headquarters in the Jabi region of Abuja, the nation’s capital, regarding the suspected diversion of cash totaling approximately N9 billion from the Kwara State Government’s coffers.
The money was said to have been diverted during Ahmed’s term as governor of the state and as Commissioner of Finance in the government of former Governor Bukola Saraki.
