The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said the N70 billion corruption case against the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, is still ongoing.
The EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwajuren, stated this while addressing protesters under the aegis of APC Akida Forum at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja on Friday.
Uwajuren assured the protesters that the anti-graft agency would continue the corruption case against Matawalle, who was the governor of Zamfara State from 2019 to 2023.
He also told the protesters that the EFCC does not close cases; once it opens an investigation, it continues, and he assured them that their demand would be investigated.
The Chairman of the group, Musa Mahmud, presented a petition to the EFCC and called on the anti-graft agency to ensure the prosecution of the former governor.
