The suspects are, Rabiu Abdullahi,  Sanusi Mohammed Yaro, Ibrahim M. Kofar Soro,  Ibrahim Aliyu and Nura Lawal Kofar Sauri.

Preliminary investigation by the Commission showed that  Rabiu Abdullahi, a  former Director of Collections of the Board and current Permanent Secretary of the Board authorized the opening of a  a bank account in the name of ''BOIRS'' at Sterling bank where he allegedly designated Sanusi Mohammed Yaro, Director of Revenue Account and Ibrahim M. Kofar Soro  as sole signatories to the account. Subsequently, the account became the primary channel through which all the funds  were allegedly funneled to the main beneficiary NADIKKO General Suppliers, a company owned and controlled by Nura Lawal Kofar Sauri,  an Assistant Director of Career Skills/Staff Welfare of the Board.

 

Investigation further revealed that Nura Lawal and his company  ''NADIKKO'' became the principal conduits used to launder the stolen funds. These laundered funds were traced to the various bank accounts of the suspects.
