The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) stormed Kaduna at the weekend, evicting occupants and sealing off properties believed to have belonged to the lead suspect and former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd) and his alleged accomplices.
The properties include a hotel complex in the Government Reserved Area (GRA), Rabah Road, Malali and a housing estate at Sani Sami Road, within the same GRA.
It was also learnt that one of the properties, an intimidating residential duplex located at 5C, Sultan Close, is said to belong to a former Theatre Commander of the Operation Lafia Dole in Maiduguri, Major General Yishau Mahmood Abubakar.
When the property was visited yesterday, red paint marked: “EFCC, Keep off, under EFCC investigation”, was written all over the building.
When the EFCC operatives stormed the house on Sunday evening, there was a birthday party going on there, but everyone was asked to vacate the premises immediately after which it was sealed off.
Eyewitnesses said the operatives went away with the General’s wife. However, the military officer’s whereabouts were unknown as at Press time.
In addition, a multi-million naira shopping mall, allegedly belonging to the General’s wife, was equally confiscated by the anti-graft agency, with the same inscription on it. But neighbours living close to the property argued that the mouth-watering edifice belongs to the General’s brother and not his wife as alleged.
Similarly, another property, a shopping mall along Sultan Road, which is said to belong to the General’s friend, an ambassador, was equally confiscated.
