The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) has said that new Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff, is
still under investigation for corruption.
The EFCC
had arrested Sheriff in June 2015 after he was accused of looting funds during
his tenure as the governor of Borno State.
The
disclosure was made to Punch on Monday, February 22, 2016, by EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren who said “Sheriff is still under
investigation.”
“We can ask him to come back anytime we need him. I cannot
disclose the details of the investigations for now but the matter is already in
the public domain,” Uwujaren
said.
Sheriff
was accused of mismanaging a sum of N300bn which he received from the Federation
Account between 2003 and 2011.
He was
detained from June 3 to June 4 but was subsequently released on administrative
bail without being charged to court.
Meanwhile,
Sheriff has said that he will not resign as PDP Chairman despite the
controversy caused by his appointment.
