A former Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, Babatunde Fowler, had on Monday returned to the Lagos office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for questioning over his involvement in alleged financial misappropriation under his watch.

A fresh N9.2bn has been reportedly traced to Fowler’s personal account from Lagos Inland Revenue Service and Alpha Beta scam in which a former governor of Lagos, Bola Tinubu, had also been mentioned.

Recall that while nine senior officials of the agency were detained by the EFCC over alleged multi-billion naira fraud in 2019, the former FIRS boss was on November 2 invited for questioning by the EFCC over a N5bn fraud perpetrated in the agency under his watch.

Fowler was sacked by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 after a query for worsening tax revenues since 2015.

He had also been accused of poor corporate governance structures at the FIRS, poor audits at the FIRS, high handedness in office, diversion of funds, brazen corruption, a lavish lifestyle, bankrolling extravagant parties and concerts in Lagos, and awarding contracts to stooges and cronies.
