Just about six days after the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recovered 17 exotic cars
from a warehouse reportedly owned by Abdullahi Dikko Inde, former comptroller-general
of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS), another set of vehicles,
tricycles and motorcycles, have been reportedly seized from him.
The
Nation reports that the second recovery was made between Monday,
February 27 and Tuesday, February 28 in another warehouse allegedly
belonging to the former customs boss.
The fresh items include a 2013
model 32-seater Nissan bus, 42 cargo tricycles, one tipper truck, 16
motorcycles, over 500 rug carpets and two fire-proof safes.
The
report quoted the zonal head of EFCC in Kaduna, Bappa Ibrahim, as
saying that the EFCC swung into action following a tip-off.
He confirmed that the EFCC was
investigating the former customs boss and that the second set of items
were recovered from a warehouse, off Nnamdi Azikwe expressway, around
NASFAT village in Igabi local government area of Kaduna state.
Contained in the two safes were documents, an iron stamp, 50 and 20 naira notes, amounting to N1,560 and polythene bags.
The
EFCC zonal head did not give details of the contents of the documents
found in the safe since investigation was still ongoing.
“The
fresh operation, which started on Monday, 27th February, 2017 till
today is a continuation of last week operation, which led to recovery of
17 exotic vehicles,” he said while urging the public to continue to assist with information that would make the EFCC successful.
