 Alleged N189b fraud EFCC releases Tambuwal on administrative bail

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has released former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, on administrative bail after interrogating him over alleged financial misconduct.

Tambuwal, a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, is under investigation for reportedly withdrawing about ₦189 billion during his tenure as governor.

A senior EFCC official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the ex-governor was granted bail after providing the information required by investigators.

“He has already been granted administrative bail. We’ve extracted what we need from him, and he will soon leave our headquarters after perfecting his bail conditions,” the source stated.

EFCC spokesman Dele Oyewale confirmed the development on Tuesday night but declined to comment further.

Tambuwal had honoured an EFCC invitation on Monday, August 12, 2025, arriving at the commission’s Abuja headquarters at 11:16 a.m.
