The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission has sealed off a mansion allegedly
belonging to a former Chief of Air Staff, Air
Marshal Mohammed Umar (retd).
Our correspondent, who visited the house
located on 1853 Deng Xiano Ping Street, off
Mahathir Mohammed Street, Asokoro
Extension, Abuja, observed stickers bearing the
EFCC logo pasted on the gate.
According to the EFCC, the house is worth
about N860m.
The EFCC had alleged before an Abuja Federal
High Court that, “while being the Chief of Air
Staff, Nigerian Air Force, between March and
April 2012, in Abuja, within the jurisdiction of
the court did the accused (Umar) use the
United States dollars equivalent of the sum of
N860,000,000 (Eight hundred and sixty million
naira) removed from the accounts of the
Nigerian Air Force to purchase for yourself a
property lying and situate at plot 1853 Deng
Xiano Ping Street, off Mahathir Mohammed
street, Asokoro extension Abuja.”
The anti-graft agency had also alleged that
Umar removed another N700m from the
accounts of the NAF to purchase a property at
14, Vistula Close, off Panama Street, Maitama,
Abuja, while N500m was removed from the
accounts of the NAF to purchase a property
comprising a four-bedroomed duplex at Road
3B, Street 2, Mabushi Ministers Hill, Abuja.
However, our correspondent, who visited the
Maitama and Mabushi mansions allegedly
belonging to the retired officer, observed that
the properties had not been sealed by the anti-
graft agency.
Security guards at the Mabushi mansion,
however, confirmed to our correspondent that
the property belonged to Umar.
The ex-CAF, who was arraigned for an alleged
N7bn scam, had denied all the allegations
levelled against him.
Meanwhile, our correspondent learnt on
Saturday that there was tension within the
Nigerian Navy as the EFCC commenced fresh
investigations into the three arms of the
Armed Forces.
The Federal Ministry of Finance had on
Thursday directed the anti-graft agency to
investigate the payroll of the military.
The ministry said the investigation followed
revelations in the course of the trial of a
former Chief of Defence Staff, retired Air
Marshal Alex Badeh, at the Federal High Court,
Abuja, that N558.2m was diverted monthly
from the NAF accounts into private pockets.
The EFCC had since January been investigating
only the air force and the Nigerian Army.
However, with the new directive, it means that
the Nigerian Navy would be included in the
EFCC probe.
A source at the EFCC said, “We were
investigating only the army and the air force
because they were the ones given funds to
fight Boko Haram. Since the battle has only
been in the North-East where there is no
piracy, the navy was not really involved in the
arms deal and we therefore did not focus on
them during investigations.
“However, with this new directive, we will go
after the navy. We are aware that part of the
NIMASA fraud also involved some navy
personnel. We will now do a full-scale
investigation.”

Why are our leaders this wicked? Just go to bridges all over the country and you see people that don't have a place of their own. Yet some are busy buying and building mansions that will only end up as decorations. This is so sad.
