EFCC witness alleges N700m Taraba LG subventions diverted under ex-Gov Ishaku

An EFCC prosecution witness testified that approximately N700 million in Gassol Local Government subventions was diverted into his company's account between 2019 and 2021 during Governor Ishaku's tenure. The claim is part of an ongoing corruption trial, with details of the diversion mechanism and ultimate beneficiaries still emerging. This matters as it signals continued anti-corruption enforcement against former state officials in Nigeria.
