The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday interrogated former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, over alleged cash withdrawals amounting to N189 billion during his tenure.
Tambuwal, who arrived at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja around 11:30 a.m., was still answering questions at press time.
Investigators claim the withdrawals may have violated the Money Laundering (Prevention & Prohibition) Act, 2022.
While the EFCC has not released full details, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) accused the agency of acting like a political tool for the ruling APC, claiming its investigations are politically selective.
The party urged Nigerians to resist the misuse of public institutions to intimidate opposition figures.
Tambuwal, a senior member of the PDP, served as governor from 2015 to 2023 and was previously Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The EFCC says its probe has been ongoing for months.
