The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Monday traced N860m to the immediate past governor of Kogi State, Idris Wada; and a former acting governor of Taraba State, Sani Danladi.
While N500m was traced to Wada, N450m was traced to Danladi. The money was said to be part of the N23bn allegedly disbursed by a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, through the then Director of Finance of the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, Senator Nenadi Usman.
The spokesman for the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed that Wada was detained by the commission. He said, “Yes, he was invited by the EFCC over N500m Diezani money. He is still in our custody.” It was learnt that Wada arrived the EFCC office around 12pm and was still in custody around 9pm.
The Gombe zonal office also quizzed Danladi in respect of the N450m collected by him through Senators Joel Dallami Ikenya and Mark Useni during the build-up to the 2015 presidential election. Danladi, in his statement on oath, that, he and the other members of the committee shared N36m among themselves while the balance of N414m was distributed to other stakeholders across the 16 local government areas of the state and one Development Area Council. Danladi was arrested and detained in Abuja last week and later released on bail to reliable sureties, but asked to report to the EFCC Gombe zonal office for further investigation.
It was learnt that at least 20 former ministers and governors who are members of the PDP may be detained by the commission.

PMB administration have the Intel on everybody involved in Diezanigate and Dasukigate but they wont arrest all at once and prosecute them instead, they keep bringing up new names every three months to make the masses believe that they are busy fighting corruption. I say to them, fight corruption but make us feel the dividends of democracy. Implement good policies to revamp the economy, create jobs, give us steady light and watch inflation disappear. etc etc.. Remember today is your turn, 2019 might be another party's turn.
