EFCC questions former Kwara Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed

Date: 2020-12-10

The immediate past governor of Kwara State, Abdulfatah Ahmed, was on Monday invited to the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for questioning, PREMIUM TIMES learnt.

Mr Ahmed governed the state between 2011 and 2019.

Mr Ahmed, in a short statement to this paper on Tuesday, said that the invitation was to clarify specific transactions and decisions taken while steering the ship of the state.

"Yesterday, I was at the Ilorin Zonal office of EFCC on invitation. During the session, I clarified specific budgeted transactions and board-approved decisions of a government body while I was Governor. No allegation of fraud was made against me. I have since returned home," he wrote.

Mr Ahmed's successor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, had inaugurated panels to probe the sales of state-owned properties and assets starting from 1999.

He also inaugurated another panel to look into the finances of local governments and their activities since 1999.

These panels have indicted some officials under the previous administrations.

Also, the former Commissioner for Finance under Mr Ahmed, Ademola Banu, was arraigned for alleged N411 million money laundering.

PREMIUM TIMES reported how he was arraigned alongside Travel Messenger Company Limited and one Olarewaju Adeniyi, on nine counts before Justice Babangana Ashigar of the Federal High Court, Ilorin, Kwara State
