How Ex-commissioner Stole N6 Billion Discovered By EFCC – Governor. by Celcius: 4:23pm On Apr 22, 2017
Governor Abubakar Bello of Niger State on Friday said that the N6 billion discovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in the accounts of a former public official were stolen from Niger State Government account.

Mr. Bello also provided some details of how the money was allegedly stolen.
The governor made this known to journalists after joining President Muhammadu Buhari and hundreds of other Muslim faithful to perform the Juma’at prayer, at the Aso Rock Mosque.

PREMIUM TIMES reported how the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is considering declaring a former Commissioner of Local Government in Niger State, Kantigi Liman, wanted after a further N2 billion was traced to his United Bank for Africa account by the agency.

An EFCC insider told PREMIUM TIMES the discovery brings to N6 billion funds traced to accounts held by the politician and companies linked to him.
The commission had weeks earlier traced N4 billion to two accounts in GTBank, both linked to Mr. Liman.
The first account belongs to Sadiq Air Travel Agency Limited and the second to Mr. Liman Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC spokesman, said the money was discovered following a tip-off by a whistle-blower.

According to Mr. Bello, the funds are believed to have been siphoned by the suspects through inflated hajj subsidies offered by the state government to pilgrims within the periods he (suspect) served as the Chairman of the Niger State Pilgrims’ Agency.
