EFCC Invades Shekarau’s Mansion As Ex- Gov Spends Second Day In Costody
Crimes Commission (EFCC) have invaded
the Mundubawa Avenue, Kano residence of
a former governor of of the state, Ibrahim
Shekarau.
Sources at the residence said on Saturday
morning, the operatives began searching the
residence of the former governor, who is
detained by the anti-graft agency since
Thursday.
Mr. Shekarau had denied benefiting from the
N950million campaign funds and knowledge
of how the money was shared, admitting
that the funds were only shared in his
house.

After his arrest on Thursday, the EFCC
granted him bail on the condition of
presenting two directors in the federal civil
service as sureties.
Reliable sources said Mr. Shekarau met the
bail conditions on Friday, but the EFCC
remanded him for his insistence that he did
not benefit from the funds.
A former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Aminu
Wali, was released on Thursday after
admitting that he collected N25 “contingency
allowance” from the campaign funds.
Sources told Daily Nigerian that Mr. Shekarau
received his share of N25 “contingency
allowance” through his emissary, identified
as Yahaya.
Daily Nigerian reliably gathered that when a
former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Aminu
Wali, collected the money from Fidelity Bank,
located on Murtala Mohammed Way, Kano,
he raised concerns about the safety of the
funds in his custody to party leaders.
At that point, sources said, Mr. Shekarau to
volunteered to take the money to his house,
saying he had enough safes to contain the
money.
Mr. Wali and other party leaders allegedly
obliged the request.
“Ambassador Wali never even accompanied
the money to Shekarau’s Mundubawa
Avenue residence and he never participated
in sharing the money,” said a source who is
a member of the campaign committee.
“Shekarau single-handedly shared all the
money to all the beneficiaries. He gave State
Assembly, House of Representatives and
Senatorial candidates their shares.”
