The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has released former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, on administrative bail after questioning him over alleged fraudulent cash withdrawals amounting to ₦189 billion.

Tambuwal, who served as governor from 2015 to 2023, was invited to the EFCC headquarters in Abuja on Monday, arriving around 11:30 a.m. He was interrogated by investigators and later detained at the commission’s corporate headquarters.

According to EFCC sources, the withdrawals are believed to violate provisions of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022.

“Former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, is being held over alleged fraudulent cash withdrawals to the tune of ₦189 billion. The withdrawals are in flagrant violation of the Money Laundering Act,” one source had said on Monday.

On Tuesday, officials confirmed that Tambuwal had been granted bail after meeting the stipulated conditions, which were described as “not stringent.” However, his passport remains in EFCC custody.

“He has been released on administrative bail. He met all the bail conditions. His passport is with us,” an EFCC official disclosed.

Efforts to reach EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale for comment were unsuccessful, as calls to his phone went unanswered and messages remained unreplied at press time.
