The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is set to begin a full-scale probe bordering over an alleged fraud case involving former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai.
Sources have confirmed that a long session was held on Monday in which a committee was set up by the Kaduna State Legislature, specifically for investigation into the alleged misappropriation of N423 billion by the former Governor.
The EFCC will invite El-Rufai and other parties who worked with him during his administration for probation.
“We are in receipt of a petition from an NGO. So, we have started investigation in the matters raised in the petition.
“The report of the Ad-Hoc Committee of the Kaduna State House of Assembly is also handy. We will soon invite el-Rufai and some members of his team for interrogation.
“The Special Task Force on Monday (yesterday) held a long session on the contents of the petition and the report of the Ad-Hoc Committee.
“The report of the House of Assembly has actually laid a solid foundation for the probe by our team,” the source said.
