Yobe LGA Auditor General Forfeits Properties to Government

She gave the order  on Wednesday, September 21, 2022,  following an ex parte application filed by the Maiduguri Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, seeking an interim forfeiture of the properties.

EFCC counsel, Mukhtar Ali Ahmed,  told the court that Yahaya  had some landed properties suspected to be proceeds of crime, owing to  an alleged criminal diversion of public funds, abuse of office and money laundering reported to the Commission.

A petitioner alleged that the suspect enriched himself by putting ghost workers into the payroll of LGAs in Yobe State  and acquired  landed properties from the proceeds of the crime.

“Investigation by the EFCC showed that the suspect  diverted huge sums of money from the coffers of Yobe LGAs and illegally acquired  the following properties:

Farsawa Plaza opposite First Bank of Nigeria Limited,  along Gashua road, Damaturu,  a mega plaza opposite Central Bank of Nigeria complex,  situated along Gujba Road, Damaturu.  Others are: 20 units of  self-contained,   four  units of single rooms self-contained and two units of rooms and parlor self-contained apartments,   situated opposite the Central Bank of Nigeria Complex,   along Gujba road,   Damaturu.
