EFCC Has Traced N6b To An Ex-pdp Governorship Candidate-naij.com by Kabir2Mohammad(m): 1:46pm On Apr 21, 2017
The Commission had earlier traced N4billion to two accounts in GTBank, both linked to Mr Liman - The funds were said to have been siphoned from the local government joint account of Niger state



The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is considering
declaring a former Commissioner of Local Government in Niger State,
Kantigi Liman, wanted after a further N2billion was traced to his
United Bank for Africa account by the agency.



Premium Times reports that the discovery, according to EFCC insider
brings to N6 billion funds traced to accounts held by the politician and
companies linked to him.



NAIJ.com gathered that the Commission had weeks earlier traced N4billion to two accounts in GTBank, both linked to Mr Liman. The first
account belongs to Sadiq Air Travel Agency Limited and the second to
Kantigi.



Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
Ibrahim Magu during an interactive session with staff of the
Commission to mark its 14th year anniversary.



Sources at the Commission however disclosed that the politician, who
was a governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in the
2015 election, has been elusive.



“He is on the run and all efforts to track him down have been futile.
The next option left for the Commission is to declare him wanted,” the
source said.



The source further disclosed that investigations so far indicated the
funds were siphoned from the local government joint account of Niger
State.



“The Commission desperately wants Liman, to confront him with the
available evidence,” the source said. He is believed to rake in a monthly
interest of over N33million on the fixed deposits.”



Mr Liman could not be reached for comments Friday morning.



When contacted, EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed Mr
Liman was being investigated.



“It is an ongoing investigation so I am not able to provide details at
this time,” he said.

Magu is the best EFCC Chair so far. If anyone like, you can disagree but that is the fact.
