Malam Kumo, according to the reports, had been under intense investigation before his marriage to Fatima, the President's second daughter on October 28, 2016, and now, even as the Buhari's son-in-law, the anti-graft agency is making sure he faces the full wrath of the law.

Insiders have also noted that the President has vowed not to wade into the case and has told his in-law to make himself available for investigations and to clear his name without involving the First Family.

Sahara Reporters also posted the news on its Twitter handle:

"FLASH: @NGRPresident newly minted son-in-law, Yau Kumo is under investigation at the @officialefcc over N3b fraud he committed as MD of FMBN."
