Gusau, Nigeria – August 15, 2024 – Former Zamfara State Governor Bello Matawalle is facing serious allegations of withdrawing substantial funds from the state treasury for contracts that were never executed. The accusations were made public by a Twitter user known as Ako, who claims to have significant evidence supporting these claims.
According to Ako, the funds were intended for various developmental projects, but investigations revealed that these projects were not carried out. The allegations have sparked widespread concern and calls for a thorough investigation by the relevant authorities.
Bello Matawalle, who served as governor from 2019 to 2023, has yet to respond to the allegations. Transparency advocates and civil society organizations are urging the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to take swift action to investigate the matter and ensure accountability.
