Sokoto Councillor, Director, Two Others Arrested For Diverting Workers’ Salaries by GistMore11: 8:40am On Jul 27, 2019
Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested Tukur Yabo, Director of Works and Housing, Tureta Local Government Area; Hon. Abubakar Maigishiri, a Councilor, Social Welfare, Tureta LGA; Danjuma Ibrahim, a Cashier with Ministry of Social Welfare and Community Development, Sokoto State, and Sambo Abdullahi, a staff of the same Ministry for their alleged involvement in the criminal diversion of N980,000 public funds.

A statement from the antigraft agency says they were arrested on July 25, 2019 following investigation of a petition alleging that some employees of Sokoto Marshal Corps/ Neighborhood Watch Operatives of Tureta Local Government were not paid their April, May and June salaries.

It was further alleged that the salaries were diverted to personal use by the arrested suspects, as all efforts by the workers to get their salaries proved abortive.

Investigations revealed that Yabo conspired with Maigishiri, and the two others to share among themselves, the salaries of 15 Neighbourhood employees leaving them unpaid.

In the course of interrogation, they confessed to their roles in the criminal diversion of the salaries. The sum of N300,000 being part of the money diverted, has been recovered from them.

They will soon be charged to court.

I was told Northeners are comfortable making less than N5,000 a month and they have no atom of greed in their bones. They said just give them enough money for tea, they don't eat much and live very frugally. I guess they were wrong after all.

I don't know the leader in looting in this country. Yes, northern can loot no doubt especially given that they have more opportunities to government appointments than southerners. However, I am tempted to think that Southerners are leaders in this area. Look at the huge allocations from derivation. Just imagine James Ibori and the way he was celebrated when he returned from UK prison back to Delta state. We are not sure Okowa has not returned the recovered looted funds back to Ibori. Look at Alamesiaye the former Governor of Bayelsa, or shall we talk about Deziene Madueke etc?

Sokoto was worse. We had to protest twice, blocking the entrance to the state House of assembly and then had to block the entrance of the government House.
Gov. Tambuwal was shocked. He said he'd already dropped our money. He was the one who personally oversaw our payment with a direct order. Na so officials were coming to look for us in our PPA to pay us after we had been begging them for more than 10 months.
Northerners like money and woman die!!! No think am sef.
