Allegation
The EFCC accused Bafarawa of diverting Sokoto State funds during his 1999–2007 governorship and charged him after he left office.
Outcome / Status
The prosecution ran for roughly a decade without a conviction; Bafarawa was discharged and acquitted in 2019.
Administration's response
As with several northern-governor cases of the era, the charge was neither proven nor abandoned quickly — it simply outlasted its own evidence.
