Commendation Trails Ex-Gov Lamido’s 2 Month Detention

The immediate past governor of Jigawa state, Governor Sule Lamido has been having a running battle with the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) even before he left power less than 2 months ago.

A move by the ex-governor to hand over the affairs of governance to the secretary of the state government (SSG), Lawan Abdu Babura, a week to inauguration of a new government, further cemented the curiosity of the anti-graft agency.

He will however make a return but on watchful eyes of the EFCC.

Yesterday, news broke out that the EFCC had arrested the former governor and his sons, Aminu Sule Lamido and Mustapha Sule Lamido.
