ICPC has raided the houses of one Sanusi Mohammed, a former aide to ex-Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi state
- Following their raid, ICPC discovered 165 rounds of ammunition, a pump action rifle and other weapons
- About 220 flats, located in 20 estates, allegedly belonging to Sanusi, were confiscated
- Some undisclosed cash and jewelry were also part of the things seized from Sanusi's home
Following
a series of investigations into his affairs, the Independent Corrupt
Practices and other related Offences Commission (ICPC) has confiscated
about 220 flats, located in 20 estates, allegedly belonging to one
Sanusi Mohammed. Sanusi, a former aide to ex-Governor Isa Yuguda of
Bauchi state, also had in one of his apartments located at GRA, Bauchi,
165 rounds of ammunition, a pump action rifle and other weapons.
Punch quoted a source as saying "The ICPC made the discovery following a tip-off by a whistle-blower". According to the source, “About
10 days ago, we received a tip-off from a whistle-blower about the
lifestyle of one Sanusi Mohammed, a former aide to former Bauchi
Governor, Isa Yuguda.
“We traced 220 flats in 20 estates to him. The houses range from two-bedroom to three-bedroom flats. “Inside
some of the properties, we discovered four sophisticated guns with 165
rounds of ammunition, five exotic cars and 15 new air conditioners.“We believe the air conditioners were donated to the Bauchi State Government by China.
“We also recovered some cash as well as 25 designer watches and 20 bales of brocade.”
It was learnt that Mohammed was arrested by the ICPC and quizzed but was later released on administrative bail.
Spokesperson for the ICPC, Mrs. Rasheedat Okoduwa, when contacted said she could not speak on the matter. She said, “According to the ICPC Act,
we are not allowed to divulge details investigation. I cannot deny or
confirm any story. In any case, anyone who is under investigation is
presumed innocent until proved otherwise.”
Recall
that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) also sealed a
multi-million naira mansion belonging to Yugusa at Sir Kashim Ibrahim
Street, GRA, Bauchi. A statement issued on
Saturday, October 22, 2016, by the special assistant to current Bauchi
state governor on communications Shamsuddeen Lukman Abubakar, informed
that Yuguda’s
multi-million naira mansion at Sir Kashim Ibrahim street, GRA Bauchi
was visited by men of the anti-graft agency on Friday, October 21. "This
new development might not be unconnected with the series of complaints
and petitions filed against the former governor by the current Bauchi
State government under Governor Muhammad Abdullahi Abubakar to the
EFCC," he said.
