Ex-gov’s aide loses 220 flats, 4 guns to ICPC in Bauchi

In a recent report by Punch Newspaper, the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Commission seized the 220 flats, situated in 20 estates scattered in various parts of Bauchi State.

The properties, it was reported, allegedly belong to Mohammed, the former aide to the ex-Governor Isa Yuguda.

“About 10 days ago, we received a tip-off from a whistle-blower about the lifestyle of one Sanusi Mohammed, a former aide to former Bauchi Governor, Isa Yuguda.

“We traced 220 flats in 20 estates to him. The houses range from two-bedroom to three-bedroom flats. Inside some of the properties, we discovered four sophisticated guns with 165 rounds of ammunition, five exotic cars and 15 new air conditioners.

“We believe the air conditioners were donated to the Bauchi State Government by China. We also recovered some cash as well as 25 designer watches and 20 bales of brocade,” an ICPC source was quoted as saying.

It was also reported that Mohammed was arrested by the ICPC and quizzed but was later released on administrative bail.
