Na wawoooo. This government even the traditional tuler in collecting share which was meant for masess.quote author=Trut post=58875671]Crack detectives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Tuesday and Wednesday interrogated Kabir Tafida, the Sarkin Fada of Sokoto, who also acts as the chief of staff to Sultan Abubakar Sa’ad.
Mr. Tafida was questioned over a suspicious transfer of N700 million into his account from the Sokoto State government account, people familiar with the matter told PREMIUM TIMES.
He was released on administrative bail Wednesday evening following what a source described as “unceasing pressure on the EFCC by the Sultan and the Sokoto State government”.
Mr. Tafida was first invited to the EFCC office in Abuja on Tuesday where he was interrogated by a team of investigators.
He was then asked to return on Wednesday for more questioning.
One source said the money in question was taken from the Sokoto State’s share of the Paris club refund recently made to Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, but PREMIUM TIMES is unable to independently verify that claim.
But we were able to clearly determine that at least N700million was recently transferred from the Sokoto State government account to Mr. Tafida.
The kingmaker is not known to have offered any service to the goverment, investigators said, adding, “the suspect has also been receiving huge funds from the government of Sokoto on behalf of the Sultan.”
Mr. Tafida was reportedly allowed to go home on Tuesday on self recognizance following pressure from the Sultan and the Sokoto governor, another source said.
When contacted Wednesday evening, Imam Imam, the spokesperson to Governor Aminu Tambuwal, simply said he had just learnt of the development and that the Sokoto State government would issue a statement shortly.
No such statement has been sent to PREMIUM TIMES as at 7 a.m. Thursday.
However, a top official of the state government said the N700 million traced to the Sarkin Fada “is from the government of Sokoto State and is meant for the purchase of a House for the Sultan in Abuja”.
He said the monarch lacked official residence in the nation’s capital, adding, “the matter was discussed extensively at the meeting of the state executive council and due approval granted.
“In fact, the money is captured in the state’s 2017 budget and was officially released,” he said.
But investigators said the state has to explain why the funds was transferred to Mr. Tafida’s personal account rather than that of the Sultanate.
“Also why was the money not paid to an estate agent or a contractor buying or building a house for the Sultan,” one investigator said. “As far as we are concerned, there is something suspicious about this transaction.”
The spokesperson for the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, could not be reached to comment for this story as his known mobile telephone lines failed to connect Wednesday evening and Thursday morning.

PDJT:


-Nigeria was created for them and managed by them. All the August visitors from the US(John Kerry, representing Obama) and the UK(Tony Blair, from the British establishment) recently, have all flown to meet them in the North. Abuja is the capital of their country. Who amongst the tribes in the North or Middle-belt will reject this their new project?
They set up Sharia courts in their land with an Appeal court situated in Abuja, with no objections and their sharia "judges" have same authority as the judges presiding court cases for the commoners like you. Accept the situation or join us in the call to restore the constituents Nations for the betterment of the people.



Really sad, do you know I always cry for this country, and the truth is ,there is no one Nigeria, it's a wicked thing to say we are one Nigeria! When a region inside a country have their own constitution (sharia law) do they not have a country already? Where you treat people differently from the Nigerian constitution, how many times do you see or hear of police case like arrest and all that reported from sokoto, zamfara and many others, is it that they don't commit crimes? But the sharia law takes care of many issues there, yet when Boko Haram came, they are using Nigerians resources and constitution against it, why didn't they apply the sharia law, so many things are just one sided about this country, and many people won't say the truth, but we all will be so quick to condemn the ipob peaceful and rightful demands, yet we are all Nigerians, it's only the truth that will set us free in the country, but with our composition, I don't see us walking the part of truth, we are not one people, neither are we one Nigerians, dividing or true restructuring will help us develop fast, let us all cry for this, no need to fear, we will be better!

I seems efcc is trying.
The effort of the government on anti corruption might be little.
But it is a stage one would never think nigeria would able to reach in a long time.
