The AGF was detained on Monday for money laundering and diversion of funds totaling N80 billion.
The EFCC claimed Idris was detained after failing to honor several invitations, according to a statement signed by its spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, on Monday.
The AGF is suspected of laundering the funds through real estate deals in Kano and Abuja, according to the anti-graft agency.
According to the commission, Idris obtained the funds by using proxies, family members, and close colleagues to conduct phony consultancies and other criminal operations.
“The Commission’s verified intelligence showed that the AGF raked off the funds through bogus consultancies and other illegal activities using proxies, family members, and close associates.
“Mr. Idris was arrested after failing to honor invitations by the EFCC to respond to issues connected to the fraudulent acts,” the statement read in part.
Following the arrest, many Nigerians took to Twitter to give their thoughts on the situation and to express their displeasure with the country’s degree of corruption.
