The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested the Accountant-General of Bauchi State, Sirajo Jaja, over an alleged N70 billion fraud linked to money laundering and diversion of public funds.
EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, confirmed the development in a statement on Wednesday, revealing that Jaja was apprehended in Abuja alongside two other suspects—Aliyu Abubakar, an alleged unlicensed bureau de change operator from Jasfad Resources Enterprise, and Sunusi Ibrahim Sambo, a Point of Sale (PoS) operator.
