Former governor of Sokoto State and a key member of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Aminu Tambuwal has been arrested and detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in Abuja.
Tambuwal, a serving senator, is being detained and interrogated over alleged fraudulent cash withdrawals to the tune of N189 billion.
The withdrawals are suspected to be in violation of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022.
Recall that the African Democratic Congress, ADC, recently alleged that the EFCC is carrying out selective investigations targeting opposition politicians.
In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party said that recent EFCC summons to senior members of the opposition coalition were politically motivated and linked to their political affiliations.
According to ADC, some of the cases being pursued are not based on new evidence but involve reopening files from past years.
