The cash was allegedly withdrawn by the Director of Finance, Government House, Fubara Siminalayei, Tonye Uranta and Harisonba Princewill over the counter in suspicious manner.
One of the officials allegedly withdrew over N70bn in cash, about 129 times over a period of 3 years.
The Rivers State Government is alleged to be shielding them from reporting to the EFCC for interrogation citing a perpetual injunction obtained in 2007 barring the EFCC from probing its accounts.
According to a source, all the withdrawals were beyond the threshold set for cash transactions in the Money Laundering Prohibition Act 2011.
The source said the huge cash payments were made from the Government House account and the Federation Account Allocation remittances account domiciled in a second generation bank.
A top official of the EFCC told the Nation Newspapers that the commission went to the houses of these three officials to serve them invitation letters but they refused to collect it.
According to the EFCC official, the security guards in their personal residences said they were under instructions not to collect any letter from EFCC.
