The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday said it has recovered over N30 billion from the suspended Accountant General of the Federation (AGF), Ahmed Idris.
Newsbreak.ng reports that the EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, made this disclosure during the 62nd Ministerial Media Briefing organised by the Presidential Communications team at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Thursday.
Idris was suspended in May due to corruption allegations.
“On the case of the former Accountant General of the Federation Idris Ahmed, we at the EFCC have recovered N30 billion from him,” he said.
The EFCC is prosecuting Idris and other co-defendants over alleged N109 billion fraud at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), in Maitama, Abuja.
His co-defendants are Godfrey Olusegun Akindele, Mohammed Usman and Gezawa Commodity Market and Exchange Limited.
They face 14 charges of stealing and criminal breach of trust involving N109 billion in public funds.
The defendants were granted bail in July by justice J.O Adeyemi-Ajayi.
