The chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrashid Bawa has asked Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara state to expose him if he has any proof of fraudulent activities against him.
The EFCC boss claimed that even though as human beings no one is 100 per cent clean, insisting, Matawalle should expose him if he has any fraud record against him.
He made this known during an interview with the BBC Hausa Service on Thursday.
He noted that they have their peculiar ways of investigating corrupt leaders, thus according to him, the alleged crime of one person shouldn’t be allowed to be linked to another innocent person.
Bawa disclosed that they are currently investigating a former minister in the N25 billion case he was allegedly involved.
He also alleged that Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara has a case to answer over financial irregularities amounting to N70 billion.
Recall, the governor had recently asked the anti-graft body to spread their dragnet to the Presidential Villa, and not only the state Governors after May 29th, 2023.
The Zamfara governor had also alleged that the EFCC boss also had corrupt cases revolving around him and should therefore resign to allow for proper investigation.
