The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has commenced investigation into the affairs of three former Governors - Babangida Aliyu of Niger state, Isa Yuguda of Bauchi state and Gabriel Suswam of Benue state.

 The trio reportedly left the country shortly after the change of government in their respective states on May 29.

In Niger state, the new government led by Governor Abubakar Sani Bello has asked for the immediate refund of the N2.9 billion, allegedly obtained illegally by the immediate past government on the eve of departure.

In similar vein, the current government of Bauchi state is said to be pushing for investigation by the EFCC of former governor Isa Yuguda on alleged treasury looting.

In Benue state, former governor Gabriel Suswam disclosed that his administration would be leaving a debt profile of N9.2bn behind for the present administration of Samuel Ortom just before leaving the country on President Muhammadu Buhari’s inauguration ceremony.
