EFCC Arrests Bauchi Accountant General Over N70bn Fraud Allegation, ….Governor Bala Mohammed Under Probe
Men of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested the Accountant General of Bauchi State, Sirajo Jaja, for alleged money laundering totaling N70 billion.
The suspect was intercepted in Abuja on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, alongside Aliyu Abubakar of Jasfad Resources Enterprise, an unlicensed Bureau De Change (BDC) operator, and Sunusi Ibrahim Sambo, a Point of Sale (PoS) operator.
The arrests were in connection with ongoing investigations into the diversion of public funds, money laundering, and misappropriation amounting to N70 billion.
The anti-graft agency is investigating Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, regarding the matter.
The EFCC noted that according to investigations, N59 billion had been withdrawn from various bank accounts opened and operated by the Accountant General on behalf of the state government.
The commission added that the money was moved to Abubakar and Sambo, who, in turn, made cash payments to party agents and associates of the governor.
It said the illegal BDC operator had earlier jumped bail, but has now been rearrested.
The EFCC Spokesman, Dele Oyewale, confirmed the development, but declined further comments on the matter
