Zamfara State governor, Bello Matawale, has alleged that the previous administration stole over N107billion from the State’s treasury.
In a Twitter post on Thursday, Matawalle said the committee set up to probe financial mismanagement in the State made the discovery.
The governor said his administration will recover the stolen funds.
Although Matawalle did not give details, Abdulaziz Yari, was the governor in the previous administration.
“Yesterday, I received the final report of Alhaji Ahmad Zabarma-led committee on mismanagement of public finances and procurement processes,” Matawalle said.
“A whopping sum of N107 billion was stolen from state coffers by previous administration. We will recover these embezzled funds!”
In 2019, Matawalle accused Yari of inciting violence in the state, saying he could order his arrest if killings continue in the state.
The governor also accused his predecessor of paying himself N300 million as severance while owing N10 billion in pensions.
