The Economic Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC,
has arrested the accountant
of Gombe State Government
House, Mohammed Balbaya,
for allegedly receiving N338
million from Fidelity Bank as
part of the money made
available by a former
petroleum minister, Diezani
Allison-Maduke, during the
2015 elections.
Mr. Balbaya is currently in
the custody of the EFCC at
its Gombe zonal office.
EFCC sources told PREMIUM
TIMES that Mr. Babalya was
cooperating with
investigators and that he
had told them that he was
directed by a former senator
from the state to receive the
money.
The former lawmaker, Saidu
Kumo, served as the
campaign coordinator of
Governor Ibrahim
Dankwambo of the state
during the 2015 election. Mr.
Kumo could not be reached
for comments.
One of the investigators,
who declined to be named
because he was not
permitted to talk to the
media, said the accountant
claimed that after receiving
the money, he contacted the
government House
permanent secretary, Sani
Jauro, who also doubles as
the principal private
secretary to Mr. Dankwambo.
He said the money was later
shared to beneficiaries.
Mr. Balbaya however claimed
he did not benefit from the
illegal funds, the source
said, adding that the
arrested official refused to
name the beneficiaries or
how much each received.
The commission also has in
its custody the Adamawa
State PDP chairman, Joel
Madaki, also over allegations
of receiving the Fidelity bank
for PDP campaign money.

They all joined hands together, north, south, east, and west, to plunder our treasury leaving the bulk of the population in abject poverty. But, when their sins are about to catch up with them, they roll out the drums and play loud and emotional ethnoreligious songs and the same poverty stricken oafs who bore the brunt of their misdeeds would be the ones protesting their "persecution" and how the government wants to use "kurukere" to throw them out of office.

Wanna see who the real slaves are, look no further than those people.
