A former governor of Adamawa State, Murtala
Nyako, has been declared wanted by the anti-
graft agency, the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission [EFCC].
Also wanted by the EFCC is the son of the ex-
governor, Abdul Aziz Murtala Nyako, a retired
Naval officer.
Both are wanted in a case of criminal
conspiracy, stealing, abuse of office and money
laundering.
The EFCC had in June 2014, shortly before the
former governor was impeached, frozen the
bank accounts belonging to the state
government in what it then called a
precautionary measure to safeguard the state
treasury amidst evidence of looting uncovered
by its operatives.
The commission had alleged massive looting of
the treasury by top officials of Adamawa State
government under Mr. Nyako, a development
that, at the time, led to the arrest and
questioning of key officials, including then
Secretary to the State Government, the then
State Commissioner for Finance, the then
Commissioner for Higher Education, the then
Accountant General of the State and the then
Permanent Secretary, Ministry for Local
Government.
The EFCC said at the time that its investigation
was triggered by petitions alleging massive
looting of the treasury by the governor and his
cronies through an illegal department called
Special Programme and Project Units, SPPU,
which engaged in over invoicing and inflation
of contract.
“In the course of investigation, a critical
analysis of the Joint State/Local Government
account reveals massive cash withdrawals,” a
source at the commission had told PREMIUM
TIMES at the time.
The EFF official accused the then Permanent
Secretary of Local Governments of making
cash withdrawals of over N2 billion in 181 different
transactions, scattered in tranches of N3 million, N4 million, N8
million and N9 million per transaction from the State/Local
Government account domiciled with First Bank between 29th of
August 2011 and 2012.
He also allegedly made similar cash withdrawals amounting to
over N500 million between March 6, 2008, and March 4, 2011,
from another Joint account domiciled in Keystone Bank, the
source added.
“Other officials of the ministry who allegedly looted the Joint
Account include Justina Jari, a Principal Accountant with the
ministry who made cash withdrawals to the tune of N600
million from the Joint Account between October, 2009 and
February, 2011.
“Another staff of the ministry, Abdulhakeem Mohammed was
also alleged to have withdrawn about N3 billion from the
account between February 2007 and May 2011. Two other staff,
Mercy Wanje and Jumai Salihu were also said to have made
withdrawals of N1 billion and N160 million from the account
respectively,” the source said.
“On a single day, another staff called Haruna Hamali, a
principal store officer made a cash withdrawal of over N70
million from the same account,” he said.
“The withdrawals were made and the money returned to top
officials of the state government as narrated and confirmed by
the officials who made the withdrawals.
“The state officials were arrested in connection with the
withdrawals and other ongoing investigations,” the EFCC
official said at the time.
Mr. Nyako was later impeached by the State House of
Assembly. His whereabouts have remained unknown ever since.
