The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reacted to the alleged N70 billion fraud case against the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, while he was the governor of Zamfara state.
The EFCC’s acting Director of Public Affairs, Wilson Uwajuren, said the anti-graft agency will revisit the fraud against Matawalle, Leadership Newspaper reported.
Uwajuren stated this while addressing protesters under the ageis of Zamfara Alternative Forum (ZAF) on Friday, January, 12.
“What the EFCC Chairman has done since he assumed office is that he has reviewed all high-profile cases he inherited. And he asked me to assure you that this case would not be an exception like others, that it will be reviewed, and he is assuring you that something will be done under the law and no one is above the law and no case shall be swept under the carpet.“Be rest assured that this case will be revisited because EFCC believes that no case should be swept under the law. If you have done something wrong and our investigation is able to establish that you have a case, we will proceed with the matter.”
