An ex-governor of Jigawa State,
Saminu Turaki, has been taken into custody by operatives of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Recall that Turaki was in 2013
declared wanted by a Federal High Court, sitting in Dutse, the Jigawa State
capital.
The former Governor is being
investigated by the EFCC for allegedly mismanaging the state’s funds while in
office.
It is reported that Turaki has
been evading court appearance for his prosecution following which the court
issued an arrest warrant.
