The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday said it has uncovered about N1 billion cash withdrawal by the Kwara State Government

It also confirmed the arrest of six suspects by its Ilorin Zonal Office over the withdrawal.

An official of the state government, Hafees Yusuf, confirmed to the operatives that he got instructions from his “boss” to withdraw some money sometime in February 2019. Three Relationship Managers of the bank, Rahaman Alimi, Akinleye Ademola and Olarewaju Sarafa, were said to be the ones who parked the said money in bullion van and personally delivered it to the Chief of Staff to the Kwara State Governor, Abdulwahab Yusuf.

The suspicious withdrawals were uncovered after operatives acted on a petition by a Non-Governmental Organization, the Kwara Coalition for Good Governance and Accountability asking for the probe of over N1 billion loan the state government secured from a bank a few days before the general elections.
