The nation’s financial crimes watchdog, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested two sons of Jigawa state governor, Sule Lamido, over an alleged N10billion scam.
Aminu and Mustapha Lamido were on Thursday arrested in Kano and flown to Abuja, Friday morning.
They are currently cooling their heels at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja, while being interrogated by a team of detectives.

Their apprehension, we gathered was narrowed down to over N10billion said to have been transferred from Jigawa state government accounts.

The said accounts were being managed by Sule Lamido and his two sons from 2007 till date.
The EFCC said they have traced these transfers to 10 companies where Lamido and sons are Directors and signatories to the accounts.

The companies include Bamaina Aluminium Limited, Bamaina Holdings Limited, Bamaina Company Nigeria Limited, Rawda Integrated Services Limited, Speeds International Limited and Saby Integrated Nigeria Limited.

Confirming the arrest, Mr. Idris of EFCC, Kano office said, “The suspects and their files have been taken to Abuja”, without giving further details.”

DailyPost gathered that, Governor Lamido had since abandoned the Governors ‘ Forum retreat currently holding in Sokoto for Abuja to secure the release of his sons.
Sources said, “Lamido is demoralised by the shocking development and has abandoned everything to attend to the emerging situation.”
