The Presidency has clarified that Gimba Yau Kumo accused of $65 million fraud in the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) and has been declared wanted by the Independent Corrupt Practices and related offences Commission (ICPC) is no longer a son-in-law to President Muhammadu Buhari.

A statement issued by presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, on Friday night informed that the relationship between Kumo and the president’s daughter ended some years ago.

“While at some point in time the said fugitive from justice had been linked to a family member in marriage, that relationship has ended some years ago,” Garba said.

Reacting to what he called a running story to the effect that the ICPC has declared “an in-law of the president” wanted in connection with the fraud, he said: “This should normally be an affirmation that our anti-corruption agencies/institutions are truly independent and allowed unfettered freedom by the President. Which in fact, is the case.

“That a state institution can issue such is a measure of the administration’s commitment to accountability, equality and justice.

“To set the records straight, the person declared wanted by the ICPC is not an in-law to President Buhari.”

Amotolongbo:
The fact is that he was declared wanted cos he is no longer an in-law to President Muhammadu Buhari.

Why was he not declared wanted before now?
Oh oh, he was still an in-law and dwelling under the shadow of the Nigerian almighty.

If he is still an in-law to Buhari, he won’t be declared wanted
