Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, has said that some governors are all out devising means to launder money they stashed in houses.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that according to Bawa, so far, the agency is closely monitoring three of them.
While Bawa didn’t name them, he said two are from the North, while one is a Southerner.
“Let me tell you something, the Intel that I have yesterday and I would want you to take this thing very seriously. Already, some state governors that have some of this cash stashed in various houses and the rest are now trying to pay salaries in cash in their state,” he told Daily Trust.
Asked whether the commission would invite the governors, the EFCC boss stated that they are closely monitoring them.
He added: “I don’t know how they want to achieve that but we have to stop them from doing that.
“Well, we are working, they have not paid the salaries in cash yet but it is a very serious thing”, saying the move is against section 2 of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act.
Mr. EFCC pls do your work well God is with you, God will protect against every evil because of Nigerians situation. We voted BEAST in place of human beings into power.
We don hear. After now there will be automatic silence, and if we ever hear anything again, only the Southern governor will be arrested as a culprit.
Sorry for Nigeria.
Edon happen before, e go happen again
That’s good, a good step in a right direction. Kudos to the gallant chairman of EFCC.
No need hiding their identities they should be exposed and let their States know why they have not done anything for them.
