Former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, on Saturday, reported to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and he was grilled by a team of operatives at the Commission’s headquarters Abuja over allegations of abuse of office, diversion of public funds and fraudulent allocation of government properties to cronies.
Kwankwaso, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was first invited by the EFCC in September but he failed to honour the invitation.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quoted an unnamed associate of the politician as saying the might have been invited in relation to a petition by some retired employees of the Kano State governmentm who had earlier petitioned the EFCC, alleging that the former governor mismanaged pension remittances to the tune of N10 billion between 2011 and 2015, to fund a housing project for his cronies.
But the EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, declined comment on the interrogation of the former governor when contacted on Saturday.
