Efcc probes benue governor ortom over n22bn fraud
It appears that there is a developing story about the Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged fraud.
According to reports, the EFCC has launched an investigation into the alleged misappropriation of N22 billion by Governor Ortom's administration. The commission is said to be probing the governor's handling of the funds, which were allegedly meant for various projects and initiatives in the state.
The EFCC has reportedly invited the governor to appear before it to answer questions about the alleged fraud. It is unclear at this point what specific allegations are being made against Governor Ortom or what evidence the EFCC has gathered to support its investigation.
It is important to note that the governor has not been charged with any crime and has denied any wrongdoing. The investigation is ongoing, and it is essential to allow the EFCC to complete its probe before making any further conclusions.
It is also worth noting that the EFCC has a reputation for investigating and prosecuting high-profile cases of corruption in Nigeria. If the allegations against Governor Ortom are found to be true, it could have significant implications for his political career and the reputation of his administration.
I will continue to monitor this story and provide updates as more information becomes available.
