The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has discovered billions of Naira in cash stashed in various houses of some serving governors.
Multiple sources on Friday identified the governors as Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State, and Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State, in exclusive interviews with SaharaReporters.
EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa earlier said three serving state governors were being monitored over their moves to launder stashed billions of naira through the payment of salaries to workers.
The development follows the announcement by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) that it will redesign some naira notes.
“Let me tell you something, the Intel that I have yesterday and I would want you to take this thing very seriously. Already, some state governors that have some of this cash stashed in various houses, and the rest are now trying to pay salaries in cash in their state,” he had said.
