Allegation
The Movement for the Liberation and Emancipation of Sokoto State petitioned the EFCC in August 2015 alleging Wamakko stole and laundered roughly ₦15 billion in state funds during his tenure, with ₦1.5 billion allegedly traced to a personal account; a separate 2019 petition by predecessor Attahiru Bafarawa alleged a similar ₦13-15 billion misappropriation.
Outcome / Status
The EFCC's 2018 fact sheet said it had traced at least ₦1.7 billion to Wamakko's personal account; Wamakko said he was ready to submit to 'legitimate scrutiny, not media trial'. No conviction had resulted from either petition as of the most recent reporting.
Administration's response
Wamakko denied the allegation and said he welcomed a proper investigation rather than what he characterised as trial by media.
