Former Bauchi AG Behind Bars Over Alleged Multibillion Naira Fraud
By George Coben, Bauchi
Bauchi State High Court has ordered the immediate remand of the state’s former Accountant General, Saidu Abubakar, in prison custody, over alleged multibillion naira fraud.
The former Chief custodian of the state’s finances was arraigned on a 6 count charge bordering on conspiracy, forgery, and monumental financial infractions allegedly running into billions of naira.
This landmark case follows a formal petition lodged by the Bauchi State government in August, 2025, accusing Abubakar and his accomplices of massive embezzlement of public funds and betrayal of public trust.
The matter was swiftly taken up by the Nigeria Police, culminating in the court session.
The case has been adjourned to 22nd September, 2025 for further hearing.
All eyes will now be on the courtroom as one of the state’s most explosive corruption cases unfolds.
