The embattled Accountant General of the Federation, Alhaji Ahmed Idris, has been suspended indefinitely by the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed.
This is coming two days after his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over an alleged N80 billion fraud.
In a letter dated May 18, 2022, Ahmed said the suspension “without pay” was to allow for “proper and unhindered investigation” in line with public service rules.
