EFCC Grills Former Kano Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso Over Fraud 

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has grilled former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso on Saturday, over allegations of abuse of office, diversion of public funds and fraudulent allocation of government properties to cronies.

 

Kwankwaso, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, was first invited by the EFCC in September but failed to honour the invitation.

An associate of the politician told newsmen that Kwankwanso may have been invited in relation to a petition by some retired employees of the Kano State Government.

 

The retired employees had told the EFCC that the former governor mismanaged pension remittances to the tune of N10 billion between 2011 and 2015, to fund a housing project for his cronies.

 

EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren did not comment on the interrogation of the former governor when contacted on Saturday.
