#BBB NEWS| Alleged N1.35BN Fraud: Court Sends Ex-Gov. Sule Lamido, Sons To Prison

A federal court has ordered a former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, and his two sons, Aminu and Mustapha, accused of fraud, remanded in prison custody in Kano till September 28.

The former Governor was arraigned on Thursday alongside his children for receiving N1.35 billion kickback from a government contractor.

The money was allegedly paid into accounts controlled by the Governor and his sons.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is accusing the four suspects of money laundering, amongst other charges.

They were due for arraignment Wednesday, but the court appearance was rescheduled to Thursday (today).
