The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) has filed charges against a
former National Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Haliru Mohammed
Bello, and his son, Abbah, for collecting N600
million from the embattled former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki. The purpose for collecting the huge sum was not stated but the EFCC alleges the money might have been diverted from the public treasury for political purposes.
The anti-graft agency has approached an Abuja Federal judge to press charges against the father
and son. It was gathered that the two men are likely to be docked on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Abbah Mohammed is alleged to have received N600m from the Office of the NSA (ONSA) in the name of Bam Properties but the reason for the transfer of the money to the company was not disclosed.
The EFCC has already arrested and arraigned many top officials and companies related to the previous
administration for receiving large payments from the ONSA from the funds set aside for the procurement of arms to tackle Boko Haram.
