The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is investigating five state governments – Kano, Jigawa, Imo, Ebonyi and Rivers, in connection with suspected financial crimes, sources in the commission said on Tuesday.
It was learnt that five other state governments were under watch but the commission had not moved against them.
It was further learnt that the cases against the governments were being handled by the Public Governance Unit of the EFCC.
Another source in the EFCC said the commission commenced investigations into the Rivers State Government accounts shortly after the crisis that rocked the state House of Assembly and that anti-graft operatives had yet to conclude the investigation. Already, the EFCC source said the commission had invited some members of the Rivers House for interrogation.
