After Recovering N4billion In Gtbank, EFCC Trace Another N2billion Belonging To Guber Aspirant Kantigi Liman To UBA
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has traced N2
billion to the United Bank for Africa (UBA) account of Kantigi Liman, a 2015
governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Niger state.
The agency said EFCC may declare
Liman wanted.
The
discovery brings to
N6 billion, the funds traced to accounts held by the
politician and companies linked to him.
Two
weeks ago, the commission traced N4 billion to two accounts in GTBank, both
linked to Liman.
The
first account belongs to Sadiq Air Travel Agency Limited and the second to
Kantigi.
Quoting
sources at the commission, NAN said the politician who was a former
commissioner of local government in Niger, had been elusive.
“He
is on the run and all efforts to track him down have been futile,” the agency
quoted the source as saying.
“The
next option left for the commission is to declare him wanted.”
The
source added that investigations so far points in the direction that the funds
were siphoned from the local government joint account of the state.
“EFCC
desperately wants to confront him with the available evidence,” the source
said.
“He
is believed to rake in a monthly interest of over N33 million on the fixed
deposits.”
