In a dramatic twist to Bauchi’s anti-corruption drive, the Bauchi State High Court today ordered the immediate remand of the State’s former Accountant-General, Sa’idu Abubakar, in prison custody.
The former chief custodian of Bauchi’s finances was arraigned on a six-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 alleged accomplices of massive embezzlement of public funds and betrayal of public trust. The matter was swiftly taken up by the Nigeria Police, culminating in today’s 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.
