Former Accountant-General of the Federation, Jonah Otunla, has reportedly passed away in the United Kingdom on Monday, June 17.
Otunla had a distinguished career in finance, serving on the board of the Central Bank of Nigeria and as accountant-general of Oyo State in 1989.
He later joined the Federal Civil Service and was appointed accountant-general of the federation by former president Goodluck Jonathan in 2011.
Otunla retired from the civil service in 2015. However, his legacy was marred by allegations of corruption, with accusations of diverting billions of naira in public funds.
He had been in and out of court facing charges related to these allegations until his death.
