Former Accountant General Of the Federation, Idris Ahmed
EDITOR’S PICK
EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has traced at least 17 properties to the Accountant-General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris.
This is just as the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, suspended Idris who is currently being investigated for fraud to the tune of ₦80bn.
PUNCH quoted an anonymous source in the EFCC as saying that the properties traced to Idris are located in Kano, Lagos, Abuja, Dubai and London.
The source also said preliminary investigations showed that the nation’s chief accountant allegedly used proxies to buy some of these properties. The commission would therefore need to invite some of the proxies of the accountant-general.
He added that from all indications, these properties were purchased while Idris was in office and did not declare them before the Code of Conduct Bureau as stipulated by law.
“About 17 houses in London, Lagos, Kano, Abuja and Dubai have been traced to him. In Abuja, some of the houses are located in serviced estates,” he said.

The EFCC had in a statement on Monday announced the arrest of the accountant-general for fraud to the tune of ₦80bn.
