Former Taraba Governor Darius Ishaku Arrested for N27bn Fraud
Former Taraba State Governor Darius Ishaku has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged involvement in a N27 billion fraud. His arrest occurred early Friday at his Abuja residence, following a covert investigation into financial misconduct during his eight-year tenure, which ended in 2023.
Sources indicate Ishaku was detained after failing to provide satisfactory explanations for the financial irregularities. EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale confirmed the arrest but offered no further comments.
Reports suggest that at least 15 charges have been filed against Ishaku, and he is expected to be arraigned in court soon as the agency compiles evidence against him. His arrest coincides with ongoing investigations into former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello, who faces allegations of embezzling N80.2 billion.
