EFCC Arrests Taraba Ex-governor Darius Ishaku Over Alleged N27billion Fraud by Fareke: 8:44pm On Sep 27
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested former Taraba State Governor, Darius Ishaku, over allegations of N27 billion fraud.

Top sources within the commission confirmed that the former governor was arrested on Friday and was still in the anti-graft agency’s detention as of Friday evening.

One of the sources revealed that at least 15-count charges had been filed against Ishaku and he would be arraigned in court soon as evidence against him had been compiled.

Ishaku is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party and served as the governor of Taraba State from May 2015 to May 2023.

In May 2021, the anti-graft agency also arrested three officials who served under his government for allegedly involved in a N21 billion scam.

It was learnt that the state officials were a permanent secretary, a Director of Finance and Account and a cashier in the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.

It was gathered further that alleged stolen public funds under the Ishaku government were withdrawn from the state’s accounts through cheques in tranches of at least N10 million each.
