EFCC Releases Suspended Accountant-General On Bail

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has released the suspended Accountant-General of the Federation, Ahmad Idris, who was arrested for alleged involvement in N174bn fraud.

Idris was released on bail from the custody of the anti-graft agency on Wednesday night in Abuja, and has since been reunited with his family.

The EFCC Public Relations Officer, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed this on Thursday.

“The suspended Accountant-General is out on bail. He was released on Wednesday night,” Uwujaren said.

Recall that the EFCC had arrested Idris on May 16 over an N80 billion fraud.

After his arrest, the Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, suspended Idris.
