Alhaji Sirajo Mohammed Jaja, the Accountant General of Bauchi State, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over an alleged ₦70 billion fraud.

Jaja was apprehended in Abuja on Wednesday, March 17, 2025, alongside Aliyu Abubakar of Jasfad Resources Enterprise, an unlicensed Bureau de Change (BDC) operator, and Sunusi Ibrahim Sambo, a Point of Sale (PoS) operator.

According to EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale, the arrest is part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of money laundering, diversion of public funds, and misappropriation of state resources. The commission is also probing Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, in connection with the case.

Preliminary investigations revealed that ₦59 billion was withdrawn in cash through various bank accounts operated by the Accountant General on behalf of the state government. The funds were allegedly funneled to Abubakar and Sambo, who then made cash payments to party agents and associates of the governor.

The EFCC further disclosed that Abubakar had previously jumped bail but was rearrested alongside the others. The commission has vowed to continue its investigation and bring all those involved to justice.
