The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Monday traced N860m to the immediate past governor of Kogi State, Idris Wada; and a former acting governor of Taraba State, Sani Danladi.

While N500m was traced to Wada, N450m was traced to Danladi.

The money was said to be part of the N23bn allegedly disbursed by a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, through the then Director of Finance of the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, Senator Nenadi Usman.

It was learnt that Wada arrived the EFCC office around 12pm and was still in custody around 9pm.

The spokesman for the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed that Wada was detained by the commission.

He said, “Yes, he was invited by the EFCC over N500m Diezani money. He is still in our custody.”

The Gombe zonal office also quizzed Danladi in respect of the N450m collected by him through Senators Joel Dallami Ikenya and Mark Useni during the build-up to the 2015 presidential election.

Danladi, in his statement on oath, told interrogators that he chaired the eight-man committee that disbursed the money for Taraba State.

The EFCC stated, “He further stated that, he and the other members of the committee shared N36m among themselves while the balance of N414m was distributed to other stakeholders across the 16 local government areas of the state and one Development Area Council.”

Danladi was arrested and detained in Abuja last week and later released on bail to reliable sureties, but asked to report to the EFCC Gombe zonal office for further investigation.

Last week, the commission detained a former governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam, for his role in the disbursement of the Diezani sleaze.

It was learnt that at least 20 former ministers and governors who are members of the PDP may be detained by the commission

In the states which were ruled by the PDP, the governors were said to have taken possession of the funds while in states that had no PDP governors, the ministers handled the money.

They were alleged to have received a minimum of N450m each.

Some of the former governors and ministers that may be picked up soon include a former Minister of Power, Mohammed Wakil (Borno); and a former Minister of Science and Technology, Alhaji Abdu Bulama (Yobe).

Others are former governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu State (now a member of the All Progressives Congress), the immediate past governor of Kebbi State, Saidu Dakin Garin; former governor Ibrahim Shekarau of Kano State, former governor Ali Modu Sheriff of Borno State, former governor James Ngilari of Adamawa State; and a former governor of Zamfara State, Mamuda Shinkafi.

Sheriff allegedly received N40m from the N450m said to have been received by a former Minister of Power, Mohammed Wakil.

Also, a former deputy governor of Edo State, Chief Lucky Imasuen, and a former Secretary to the State Government of Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, may be re-invited for allegedly collecting N700m from the Diezani fund.

The source said many of the PDP chieftains had promised to return some of the funds but had failed to do so and therefore had to be invited.

And some retar.ded soul still want this useless PDP party to come back to power. Thank God for APC., I believe with time, things will change for good in my dear country..

One by one, dem don dey go

I don't need to read.....traced monies and no action. all the alleged looters are still attending same parties and functions with the president. No conviction on any of the announced loots recovery.

Nigeria politicians always steal from the poor to enriched themselves. While the so called poor people would be protecting their own tribe thieves who has already denied them good road, good medical facilities, good life, good water, good electricity, good education and many more.....forgetting that politicians all have 1thing in common which is "LOOTING".



Stop defending politicians, they don't give a f*ck about your well being....

This useless government will rather not focus on delivering their BOGUS campaign promises but always striving to divert attention of Nigerians away from their FAILURE.


EFCC should stop these media trials and their usual deafening noise. Complete your investigation, approach the court of law with your humongous evidence(s), and send the professional looters to JAIL. Finito!

Thank God APC came. Nigeria would have been placed for sale on either Olx, Jiji or Amazon. The past administration meant business with our monies. They felt after their administration Nigeria would no longer be in existence. Even if Buhari has not done well in handling economic matters, in that area of looting of the nations treasury i congratulate him. It has been at its bearest minimum.

A beclouded mind (peculiar to Zone-B.ism) cannot offer justice in judgement. So, drop that your theoretic judgement slang.


Not even when their (Buhary & APC) financial & moral kworuption is glaring BUT only to the beclouded minds.

Bring them on book, prosecute and jail them, , very wicked set of people that collapsed the economy of this great Nation

There is nothing like PDP or APC. There is no such thing as a political party. And it is a shame that even in 2017, someone is mentioning PDP and APC as if these are different entities.

There is no such thing. The moment Nigerians get rid of this thought, they will be able to analyze the individual and not the so called party. It is like ignoring the character of a man and referring to him and judging him by his clothing. As a matter of fact a lot of the APC members were in PDP and vice versa. For the past one month, there have been defections across both ways.

None of these parties have proper principles on any important matter for this millennium and the ones to Come. None are future or forward thinking. Take the issue of fossil fuels for example. What are we going to do about it? What about rape of minors? Police Brutality? SARS daily murder and brutality? Kickbacks and bribery in the public service? Etc.

None of the Governors, whether PDP, APC, APGA, ADP etc, have been able to create value for their states. They don't even know what it takes to be a governor. None can survive with Abuja giving them money. Yet there are potentials in each state untapped. None can economically improve their state by providing good working business environment, social amenities and security. They will rather wait for free money from Abuja to go monthly and beg. They make huge budgets annually solely on Abuja's handouts, which they know they will embezzle by the way.

Nigerians should note that, there are only Politicians who scramble for the opportunity to be in the position where collective but scarce resources are disbursed and managed. These politicians scramble and fight tooth and nail so that they can loot as much as possible and increase political power and relevance. Not because they are interested in service to the Nigerian populace.

It is this PDP and APC mentality that allows politicians to use you for their personal fights and use these same parties to divide you along religious and ethnic lines.

-WAKE UP. THERE IS NO PDP, APC, AND WHAT HAVE YOU. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME.

-THERE IS ONLY ONE CLASS OF POLITICIANS FIGHTING THEMSELVES AND REMAIN UNITED BY THE NATIONS TREASURY THAT THEY ALL WANT TO LOOT FROM.

-WHEN THEY WANT TO LOOT THEY DON'T REMEMBER RELIGION, ETHNIC GROUP, REGION ETC. BUT WHEN THEY WANT TO FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO LOOT, THEY REMEMBER AND USE THESE SENTIMENTS.

Is this sort of thing still news? The "war on corruption" has become very boring these days. If you still believe that what the (in)Efficient Financial Crimes Commission is fighting is corruption you need my sympathy... We are an unserious people. Apologies if I cut across as generalizing but na as e dey pain.
