EFCC has arrested the Former Governor for fraud.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the operatives from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have reportedly apprehended Darius Ishaku, a former governor of Taraba State.

 

This Nigerian news platform learnt that Ishaku was arrested over an alleged fraud amounting to ₦27 billion.

Reports indicate that Ishaku, who concluded his tenure as governor in 2023 after eight years in office, was taken into custody from his residence in Abuja during the early hours of Friday.

Daily Trust quoted sources within the anti-graft agency to have revealed that the former governor remained in the custody of the EFCC as of the time this report was filed on Friday night.

 

One source disclosed that a minimum of 15 charges have been brought against Ishaku, and he is expected to be arraigned in court shortly, as the evidence against him has been gathered.

 

“Yes, he’s in our custody right now. We have been investigating him covertly since he left as the State governor. There a lot of financial malfeasance he perpetrated,” the source told the media platform.

 

A different source indicated that the former Governor was apprehended due to his inability to offer adequate justifications regarding financial misconduct that occurred during his tenure.

 

Upon inquiry, the spokesperson for the EFCC, Dele Oyewale, verified the incident to journalists but refrained from providing additional remarks.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Ishaku’s arrest follows a continuing conflict between the commission and the former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, who is alleged to have embezzled ₦80.2 billion.
