Barely 24 hours after his appointment, reports emerged that Nwabuoku has corruption allegations and is under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC).
Nwabuoku was appointed in May amid a probe into allegations of N80 billion fraud linked to the accountant-general of the federation, Ahmed Idris.
