The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday quizzed ex-Governor of Kebbi State, Saidu Dakingari over alleged mismanagement of N3.8 billion.

As at 5.24pm, the former governor, who was invited by the EFCC, was still at the Operations Department of the anti-graft agency.

The EFCC had earlier grilled ex-First Lady of Kebbi State, Hajiya Zainab Dakingari (the daughter of late President Umaru Yar’Adua) and the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, Haliru Bello Mohammed over alleged N2 billion contracts and money laundering in the state.

The invitation of the ex-governor followed a petition on non-execution of some contracts in Kebbi State when he was in charge.

The Head of Media and Publicity of EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the invitation of Dakingari, but did not give details on why the ex-governor was invited by the commission.
