    High Court sitting in Abuja has remanded Ahmed Idris, the suspended Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF), and two others in Kuje Prison.

    This came after Ex-AGF, Ahmed Idris allegedly involved himself in the illegal diversion of public funds to the tune of about N109 billion.

    And the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) indicted Idris and his co-defendants on a 14-count charge of stealing and criminal breach of trust to the tune of N109.5 billion.

    One of the charges reads below:

    “That you, Ahmed Idris between February and December, 2021 at Abuja in the Abuja Judicial Division of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, being a public servant by virtue of your position as the Accountant General of the Federation accepted from Olusegun Akindele, a gratification in the aggregate sum of N15,136,221,921.46 ( Fifteen Billion, One Hundred and Thirty Six Million, Two Hundred and Twenty One Thousand, Nine Hundred and Twenty One Naira and Forty Six Kobo) which sum was converted to the United States Dollars by the said Olusegun Akindele and which sum did not form part of your lawful remuneration but as a motive for accelerating the payment of 13% derivation to the nine (9) oil producing Sates in the Federation, through the office of the Accountant General of the Federation, and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 155 of the Penal Code Act Cap 532 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990 and punishable under the same section.”

    Justice Adeyemi Ajayi of a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory on Friday remanded Ahmed Idris, and two others in the custody of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Kuje pending the hearing of their bail applications on July 27.
