The Governor of Kwara State, Abdulrazaq Abdulrahman had employed the services of a private firm to audit the eight-year tenure of his predecessor.
Speaking during the submission of the report to Abdulrazaq, partner at the SSAC and Professionals, Anthony Iniomoh, revealed that not less than N11.9bn was allegedly carted away between 2011 and 2019.
The report also showed that two billion naira cash withdrawals not tied to any project or official expenditure were made within eight days in February 2019, barely one month before the general elections.
The report also showed that some loans were obtained by the state government during the period whereas the elements of these loans could not be validated.
The auditors suggested to the government to prosecute some individuals and firms indicted in the two-volume report while other issues are to be referred to an administrative panel of inquiry for some individuals to explain their roles in the many infractions.
however, every effort made to reach the former Chief Press Secretary to the ex-governor, Wahab Oba on this crucial matter proof abortive.
