EFCC Hunts Tambuwal’s Aide Over N2.2m Fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is currently trailing Bello Malami Tambuwal, an aide of Governor Aminu Tambuwal, over an alleged N2.2 million fraud.

The zonal head of the anti-graft agency, Mr Usman Kaltungo, who announced this, alleged that the governor’s aide has been using his position to dupe car dealers.

He added that most of the cars he collected deceptively were Hyundai products.

“He has been going to car dealers to collect cars under a false pretence. He used to tell them that it was the Governor who wanted to buy the car for somebody,” Kaltungo said.

“After collecting the car, he sells them and use the money for something else,” he said.

According to Kaltungo, the Special Adviser who ought to be arraigned on Thursday had jumped several administrative bails.

He noted that the sum of N1.6m had already been recovered from him, aside the N2.250 million.
