Aminu Tambuwal Gets Hero’s Welcome in Sokoto After EFCC Interrogation (Video)

Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, the Senator representing Sokoto South, on Thursday, was warmly received by residents of Sokoto after his recent encounter with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Videos shared via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle showed cheering crowds lining the streets as the former Sokoto State governor made his way into the city.

In a post accompanying the footage, Tambuwal described the reception as a gesture he deeply values.

He wrote, “I am deeply grateful to the good people of Sokoto for the warm reception and outpouring of love upon my arrival in Sokoto this afternoon.

"This is one honour among many that I cherish and will never take for granted. -AWT.”

Tambuwal had honoured an EFCC invitation on Monday, during which he was questioned and detained over alleged fraudulent cash withdrawals totalling N189 billion. He was released on bail on Tuesday.
