The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested a former chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, Babatunde Fowler.
Fowler was arrested over an alleged N5bn fraud carried out while he headed FIRS and is undergoing interrogation at the anti-graft’s office in Lagos State.
According to Sahara Reporters, nine senior officials were detained by the EFCC over alleged multi-billion Naira fraud in 2019.
President Buhari sacked Fowler in 2019 after he was issued a query for worsening tax revenues since 2015.
