An operative
of the anti-graft agency who spoke to Daily Trust, said the politicians returned
money it was deposited in the bank drafts made out in the name of the
Commission for the aforementioned sums yesterday May 23rd 2016.
Former PDP
Chairman in Gombe State, Nuhu Poloma, former Secretary to the Bauchi State
government, Ahmed Ibrahim Dandija, and the zonal coordinator of the PDP in
Gombe, Taraba and Adamawa states, Bunu Mulima, have reportedly returned N2m,
N10m and N5m respectively to the EFCC. The monies are from the reported Diezani
Alison-Madueke’s 2015 election largess.
While the
former SSG paid N10 million through a bank draft of FCMB; the state’s PDP
chairman paid N2 million through a Zenith Bank draft while Mulima issued a
Union Bank draft. The former SSG is reported to have admitted in a written
statement that N20m passed through him to some other beneficiaries but accepted
liability for the refund of the whole sum. He reportedly promised to bring
another bank draft for the balance of N10m today.
The former
PDP chairman said he got N450m from the election campaign fund which he was
meant to be disbursed. He admitted that N2m was his personal benefit from the
fund while Mulima, according to him, reaped N30m from the campaign fund. They
have pledged to refund the balance, the EFCC source stated.
