Alleged N300bn fraud: EFCC takes on Modu Sheriff

The EFCC seems to be making good its promise that it is re-opening its case files against former governors suspected of embezzling their states’ resources.
This time it has gone after a former Governor of Borno State, Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff, whom it is interrogating over N300bn his administration received from the Federation Account between 2003 and 2011 when he was the governor of Borno
Modu-Sheriff is the second former governor the commission is interrogating this week. It had on Monday quizzed a former governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, who arrived in Nigeria on Saturday.
Modu-Sheriff arrived at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja at 6pm, and was arrested, and taken in for questioning. He was still there as at 9p.m.
