Tamarauemi Ebimini

Forensic Audit report has revealed that N11.9 billion of public funds were carted away from the treasury of Kwara between 2011 and 2019 without any lawful tie to any project or programme.

The forensic audit report has revealed, amid other mind-boggling revelations, of alleged malfeasance within the period.

This is contained in a statement issued in Ilorin on Thursday by Mr Rafiu Ajakaye, the Chief Press Secretary to the Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.

The audit also showed that N2 billion cash withdrawals not tied to any project or official expenditure were made within eight days in February 2019, barely one month to the general election.

Iniomoh disclosed that there was a cash withdrawal within eight days of N2.06 billion in February 2019 without no documentation made available to validate the purpose for which the money was withdrawn.

He said there were several other cash withdrawals within the state over the period running into billions of naira which the audit team could not validate.
