The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested its own official and driver, Nasiru Isa, for burgling a sealed house owned by the former Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh.
This shocking disclosure was made by EFCC Spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, in a statement made available to Newsmen.
Recall, that in January 2016, the EFCC sealed off some properties in Abuja, owned by the former Defence Chief, who is facing trial for allegedly diverting funds meant for the Military.
Members of the looting gang are: Abubakar Jibrin, Abdulsalam Ado, Ibrahim Babangida, Reuben Dauda, Hassan Aliyu, Sani Yusuf, and Murtala Mohammed.
Uwujaren said the suspects were caught in the act of breaking into Badeh’s property.
“On August 30, 2016, operatives of the EFCC, as part of monitoring activities on the sealed property, had gone to the site to execute a search”, he said.
“However, members of the syndicate took to their heels on sighting the Operatives of the anti-graft agency. A carpenter, Yakubu Muhammad, who was hired by the syndicate, was left behind and was subsequently arrested by the operatives.
“The Carpenter, who has been cooperating with operatives, confessed that he was not in the know of the illicit activity, as he was only brought in by the syndicate, to assist with the use of his carpentry tools to break into the property.”
The EFCC Spokesman, said investigations showed that some people moved about 12 bags, believed to contain items linked to money laundering out of the property after it was sealed off.
“Investigations revealed that one of those in the know about the goods was the brains behind the scheming to steal them. The syndicate decided they would need to subdue the security man at the property, which would mean they would need to involve security personnel in the syndicate”, he said.
“Subsequently, Isa was contacted. To further beef up the security aspect of the crime, he also contacted his friend, Ismaila, who came for the ‘operation’ fully armed. In perpetrating the crime, Dauda had posed to be a senior official of the EFCC, while Jibrin posed as an Intelligence Police Officer in the Inspector General’s office.
“However, on August 30, 2016, they were caught in the act of breaking into the property, having successfully overpowered the security guard at the entrance of the property.”
