The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed charges against a former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Haliru Mohammed Bello, and his son, Abbah, for collecting N600 million from the embattled former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki.
The purpose for collecting the huge sum was not stated but the EFCC alleges the money might have been diverted from the public treasury for political purposes.
The anti-graft agency has approached an Abuja Federal judge to press charges against the father and son.
It was gathered that the two men are likely to be docked on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Abbah Mohammed is alleged to have received N600m from the Office of the NSA (ONSA) in the name of Bam Properties but the reason for the transfer of the money to the company was not disclosed.
The EFCC has already arrested and arraigned many top officials and companies related to the previous administration for receiving large payments from the ONSA from the funds set aside for the procurement of arms to tackle Boko Haram.
The former NSA himself was charged along with many senior administration officials and PDP bigwigs for benefitting from the alleged loot.
Many of them have however been released on bail while others are yet to fulfill their bail conditions. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

We all condemn corruption, but is Buhari telling us that no APC member was corrupt, knowing fully well that 60% of them were former PDP. It is expensive to fund campaign, PDP embezzled from security funds and we know. Where did APC get its own funds from. Have we wondered why all APC Governors could not pay salary during the campaign and election periods, from Osun to Rivers to Imo to Lagos to Edo and all of them.
ReplyDeleteThe only state that APC loss, which was Rivers n the administration attempted to expose how 50Billion disappeared, the case was struck out n EFCC never invited Amaechi. The was no change in Lagos, Imo, Osun, Edo n others to expose such.
What am saying is that, to eradicate corruption in Nigeria, the fight should not be one sided. An unfair justice is no justice.
Obj escaped justice by tearing his PDP card.
Wow what a country is EFCC working for APC? Is there job only to prosecute every PDP member just saying sha
