The EFCC has issued a declaration stating that Bello Matawalle, the former governor of Zamfara, is wanted for alleged acts of corruption during his tenure.
A top security source confirmed that the EFCC, on Saturday, asked the Department of State Services (DSS) to arrest Matawalle “anywhere he is seen” in the country.
EFCC said it was investigating Matawalle for allegedly siphoning state funds running to N70 billion through unexecuted contracts awarded to his cronies and for which money was received.
The ex-governor might have gone into hiding for fear of being nabbed by the anti-graft agency.
