Close allies of former President Muhammadu Buhari who served in his administration as ministers, and aides have come under the radar of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), over alleged multi-billion naira fraud allegations.
The EFCC has gathered, is zeroing in on key ones who have been on the anti-graft agency’s watch list for multiple allegations.
Some of the top ministers including a former finance Minister under the EFCC radar, are believed to have fled the country to evade arrest and possible prosecution by the EFCC.
According to top EFCC sources, former Minister Zainab Ahmed and their counterpart, who served as minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, are among top former ministers being trailed by the EFCC.
The two ministers were among the most powerful during Buhari’s reign and were named in many multi-billion naira cases while they were in office.
Reports say there was a plea Bargain from the powerful key Ministers and Aides and may have refunded over $21 Billion US Dollars to EFCC.
