Preliminary investigations revealed
that the said properties were purchased from New Capital Properties
Limited, a subsidiary of Northern Nigerian Development Company, NNDC,
Kaduna.
It
would be recalled that the EFCC on May 7, 2018 filed 12 count charges against
the immediate past governor for an alleged fraud of about N6.3bn (Six Billion
Three Hundred Million Naira).
A
serving Senator representing Plateau-North Senatorial District, Jang who is
being prosecuted before a Plateau State High Court, allegedly embezzled some
special funds released to the state by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
The
former governor is also said to have abused his office as the governor by
collecting money to the tune of N4.3bn from the state coffers through the
cashier of the Office of the Secretary to the State Government, Yusuf Pam.
One
of the count charge revealed that the former governor was allegedly diverted
N2bn released by the CBN for disbursement to Small and Medium Enterprises in
the state under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Funds, just
a month before the expiration of his tenure in April 2015.
