Alleged N109b Fraud

The immediate past Accountant General of the Federation, AGF, Ahmed Idris, said he initially thought he would not be tried for the alleged N109 billion fraud for which he and three others are facing trial.

The ex-AG-F said this in one of the 13 statements he made to EFCC investigators, which have been tendered before a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, where he is being tried with others. Idris said he cooperated with Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, investigators by providing them with necessary information to help their investigation in the belief that he would not be prosecuted.

reports that the EFCC is prosecuting Idris; his former Technical Assistant, Godfrey Olusegun Akindele; a director in the Office of the AGF, Mohammed Kudu Usman; and Gezawa Commodity Market and Exchange Limited on a 14-count charge bordering on stealing and criminal breach of trust to the tune of N109 billion.
