Former governor of Kano State and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, was interrogated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC), for several hours yesterday over alleged non-remittance of N10 billion pensions fund.
The fund was said to have been misappropriated during his tenure as governor between 2011 and 2015.
The PDP chieftain, who was said to have previously shunned invitations from the anti-graft Commission, reportedly turned himself in at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja in the afternoon, where he was subjected to marathon questioning.
It was learnt that the former senator was being investigated over a 2015 petition by Concerned Kano State Workers and Pensioners, who alleged that he violated the Kano State Pension and Gratuity Law of 2007 by failing to remit the pensions contribution.
A source said the PDP chieftain was still being held as of last night when this report was filed.
The EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, did not comment on the interrogation of the former governor when contacted.
Recall that the former governor was first invited by the EFCC in September but failed to honour the invitation.
