Ibrahim Shekarau Arraigned By EFCC Over N950m Fraud

Previous Kano State senator, Ibrahim Shekarau, Ambassador Aminu Wali and Engineer Mansur Ahmed are right now being summoned under the steady gaze of a Federal High Court in Kano for gathering N950 million crusade support which is a piece of the $115 million purportedly disseminated by previous Minister of Petroleum Resources, Deizani Alison-Madueke in front of the 2015 general race.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had recorded six-check charge verging on the illegal tax avoidance. The first and second charges were on Shekarau and Wali for gathering N25m each out of the N950m, while the third was on Engineer Ahmed, who supposedly gathered N10m. The fourth charge was on Wali for gathering the N950m, the fifth on Shekarau and Wali for holding N950m at the living arrangement of the previous in Kano and the six on them three for scheming to gather the cash.

The previous representative and the two different people were welcomed by the antigraft office in May 2016 for supposedly sharing N950m battle finance at Shekarau's living arrangement in Kano.

Then, the representative of the previous senator, Sule Ya'u Sule, has depicted the arraignment as politically propelled. Sule claims that the arraignment is associated with the current meeting the previous senator conceded to the African Independent Television (AIT) in which he scored the Buhari-drove organization beneath normal.
