Alleged corruption: EFCC keeps mum over Nyako



The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), is keeping mum over the fate of former Governor of Adamawa State, Vice Admiral Murtala Nyako (rtd), 24 hours after his return to the country.
Nyako, who was impeached by the Adamawa State House of Assembly in July, 2014, had fled the country, ostensibly to evade possible arrest by operatives of the EFCC, who had placed Nyako’s administration under investigation, before the lawmakers struck.
The operatives, it will be recalled, had quizzed some senior government officials, including then Secretary to Adamawa State government as well as Nyako’s Commissioner for Finance.
Consequently, the anti-graft agency declared the former governor and his son, Abdul Aziz, wanted.
They were declared wanted in a case of alleged criminal conspiracy, abuse of office and money laundering.
However, efforts by New Telegraph to get the anti-corruption commission to disclose its next line of action, now that Nyako is said to be back in the country, proved abortive, as its Head of Media and Publicity, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, did not pick calls made to his phone. He had yet to reply a text message sent to him as at the time of filing this report.
