The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences
Commission (ICPC) has declared Gimba Yau Kumo, son-in-law of President
Muhammadu Buhari, wanted over an alleged $65 million fraud.
In a notice published on Thursday, Azuka Ogugua, spokesperson
of the anti-graft commission, said Kumo is declared wanted alongside Tarry
Rufus and Bola Ogunsola over alleged misappropriation and dispersion of
national housing funds.
Kumo, a former managing director of the Federal Mortgage
Bank of Nigeria, married Fatima, the president’s daughter, in 2016 at Daura,
Katsina state.
“The persons whose pictures appear above, Mr. Tarry Rufus,
Mr. Gimba Yau Kumo and Mr. Bola Ogunsola, are hereby declared WANTED by the
Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) in
connection with issues bordering on misappropriation of National Housing Funds
and diversion of the sum of Sixty Five Million dollars ($65,000,000),” the ICPC
said.
“Anyone who has
useful information on their whereabouts should report to ICPC Headquarters
Abuja, any of the ICPC State Offices or the nearest police station.”
In April, the senate committee on public accounts summoned
Kumo to explain the alleged irregular award of N3 billion contract when he was
still at the bank.
