The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday quizzed
a former Comptroller- General (CG) of Nigeria Customs Service, Alhaji
Abdullahi Dikko, over alleged diversion of N40 billion.
This was as EFCC operatives also interrogated a former Acting
Governor of Adamawa State, Mr. James Ngilari, as well as a former
Nigerian Ambassador to the United States, Alhaji Hassan Adamu.
A highly placed source at the EFCC, who spoke in confidence with New
Telegraph yesterday, said the ex-Customs CG, who arrived the
commission’s headquarters about 10a.m. yesterday, was still being
grilled as at last night. It was not clear if Dikko was granted
administrative bail last night.
It was gathered that the N40 billion was allegedly diverted from the
proceeds of the seven per cent cost of collection, as well as one per
cent comprehensive import supervision scheme of the Service. New
Telegraph further learnt that Dikko would answer questions on the source
of money he used to acquire his Jabi, Abuja mansion, which is said to
be estimated at N2 billion. It will be recalled that operatives of the
anti-graft agency had, on January 8, raided the Abuja home of Dikko, in
search of suspicious items.https://newtelegraphonline.com/efcc-quizzes-ex-customs-cg-dikko-alleged-n40bn-fraud/
