"The newly completed N4.5bn Commodity and Exchange Market in Kano belongs to the embattled Accountant-General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris.
"This is the first phase of the largest commodity market in Africa where farmers can aggregate farm produce and sell it directly to industries.
"Idris allegedly stole N80bn from the country’s coffer."
However, it must be said that neither the Economic and Finacial Crimes Commission (EFCC) which is still on Idris' case nor Legit.ng can confirm Igbokwe's claim.

“So far, he is still in custody because EFCC has invited some of his relations and consultants who allegedly executed some questionable or non-existent contracts..."
