FCT, Abuja – A former minister of communication, Adebayo Shittu, said there were a lot of manipulations and fraudulent approvals during the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Shittu said many of the approvals did not emanate from Buhari.
He stated this while speaking on Channels Televisionâs Sunrise Daily on Tuesday, May 7.
Speaking further, Shittu said people close to Buhari conspired with the then Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Godwin Emefiele to carry out the fraudulent approvals, The Punch reports.
Shittu urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to wade into the matter and âprobe properlyâ.
The former minister said:
Meanwhile, TimesNow.com.ng reported that the EFCC filed a fresh suit against Emefiele at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
In the new suit, the anti-graft agency alleged that the embattled ex-CBN governor printed N684,590,000 at the rate of N18.96 billion.
Emefiele was alleged to have broken the law with the intent of hurting the Nigerian public during the implementation of the new naira note policy.
