The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has traced at least 17 properties to the Accountant-General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, The PUNCH has learnt.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has traced at least 17 properties to the Accountant-General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris,This is just as the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, suspended Idris who is currently being investigated for fraud to the tune of N80bn.

He, however, said preliminary investigations showed that the nation’s chief accountant allegedly used proxies to buy some of these properties. The commission would therefore need to invite some of the proxies of the accountant-general. He added, “About 17 houses in London, Lagos, Kano, Abuja and Dubai have been traced to him. In Abuja, some of the houses are located in serviced estates.”

The statement read in part, “The commission’s verified intelligence showed that the AGF raked off the funds through bogus consultancies and other illegal activities using proxies, family members and close associates. The funds were laundered through real estate investments in Kano and Abuja.”

Shameless thief. Quota system product. If Nigeria is base on merit this criminal is not qualify to be a secondary school teacher let alone accountant general.

Otoge kicked out Saraki,his stooge like the governor of kwara state, Ahmed Abdulfattah and their political conspirators from office.

If just one Man could misappropriate 80b , what will be the total LOSSES for thousands of public & political powers. What Naija LOST to CORRUPTION could turn it to UAE or UK if judiciously used .

Some people's mental illness it's beyond Schiz. They shld just hang ds man.

Ok o

this man is a thief

Muhammadu Buhari government has finished Nigeria with homogenous corruption next level.

Hausa people don't have respect for public fund

This man is not gonna see the bars of a prison cell for this. They will bail him with 100million. This matter won't be a thing in 2weeks.

Only one person

This case is something else Very soon you hear his free

Don't be deceived! In the final analysis, Idris Ahmed will be dropped from his position as AG and allowed to home to enjoy his gigantic stolen wealth. After all, he's a member of Nigeria's purported 'supreme' ethno-religious untouchable group led by PMB.
