Bauchi state Governor, Bala Mohammed who spoke in an interview with journalists disclosed that his predecessor, Mohammed Abubakar, spent N2.3bn on burial in five months.  According to Governor Bala Mohammed, his predecessor who claimed he spent N2.3bn on burial in five months gave the breakdown as N900m spent on the purchase of white cloth used for wrapping corpse, and N1.4bn used to buy the wood for lacing the graves after burial.

Speaking through his spokesperson, Dr Ladan Salihu, the Bauchi State Governor said the funds were spent between January and May, 2019.

Ladan alleged, “This money which ought to have been appropriated by the state House of Assembly before expenditure, all of a sudden emanated from our treasury books.

Asked if the state government had any proof to substantiate its claim, he said there was no iota of doubt on the matter, saying that there was documentary evidence to prove that
