Aminu Gwandu, was due for burial yesterday according to Islamic rites. However, his death did not stop the commission from arresting the state's Accountant-General, Mr. Dan Atto in reference to the matter.
Atto was taken fully to Abuja for interrogation. Atto was invited by the EFCC to throw light on the alleged diversion of the N3 billion into private accounts.
It was learnt that the late Aminu Gwandu was apparently scared stiff by signals he too could be invited by the agency,especially the stigma that matches such interface with the anti-graft agency.
A source said the development was said to have hit him just like a thunderbolt. His health soon deteriorated and he slumped. He died before he could easily get medical assistance. The Accountant-General of the state, who initially appeared at the EFCC's office in Kano, reported again yesterday. He was immediately arrested and whisked to Abuja for interrogation.
A source in EFCC, however, said:
“There was no incident associated with the EFCC on the looks and arrest of Atto.
“We're investigating alleged laundering of N3billion which we've traced with a accounts. We're quizzing many suspects like the Accountant-General, Atto.“After reporting in Kano, our men picked him up for a comprehensive grilling in Abuja.”
The Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said Atto was in “EFCC custody to clarify some issues.”
Goveror Saidu Usman Dakingari could not be reached for his reaction last night.
