SHARE

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has secured a court order to detain the embattled Accountant-General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, for more days.

An official of the anti-graft agency, who did not want to be quoted, said that the legal department of the commission secured the order within 24 hours after Idris was arrested in Kano.

Although the detective did not state the court where the order was obtained, he explained that they have been relying on the order to keep him in their custody pending the conclusion of their investigation.

“He is still here with us, he has been cooperating. We will get to the root of the matter. The good thing is that our legal department has secured a court order helping us to hold him till we conclude our investigations,” the source said

When asked about when he would be released, the official said Idris may be charged to court anytime, saying “evidence at our disposal is damning”.

He added that some of the properties linked to him in Abuja, Lagos and Kano might be forfeited temporarily, noting that the commission will also push for their permanent forfeiture to the federal government.

Recall that Idris was arrested on May 16 for an alleged N80 million fraud. Read here.
