The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested Ahmed Idris, Accountant General of the Federation over N80billion fraud.

EFCC confirmed the arrest in a statement issued by his Spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren on Monday.

He was arrested after he failed to honour invitations by the EFCC.

“The funds were laundered through real estate investments in Kano and Abuja.”
