Niger state governor, Abubakar Bello, says the N6 bn found in
various accounts operated by a former Commissioner of
Local Government in the state and ex PDP governorship
candidate of the state, Kantigi Liman, belongs to the state
government.
On April 11th, EFCC disclosed it had found N4 billion in two
company accounts linked to Liman and another N2 billion
was yesterday found in a UBA account linked to Liman.
In an interview with state house correspondents yesterday,
Bello said the money belongs to the state government.
According to him, the recovered funds is believed to have
been diverted by the suspect through inflated hajj subsidies
offered by the state government to pilgrims when he served
as the Chairman of the Niger State Pilgrims' Agency.
"I'm aware that the EFCC is investigating the
ecological funds. At the inception of this
administration, we realised that the ecological funds
disappeared. I did not have any evidence that it was
utilised to address any ecological issues and we are
faced with major ecological problems especially in
Mokwa, Agaie, Bida, part of Minna, Rafin Gora and
Mariga. We are doing our best to address the
ecological problems. We need funds and
unfortunately the N2 billion that was given to the
state was not judiciously used to address the
ecological challenges. If it had been used properly
maybe our burden might have been reduced by now,
but we are having sleepless nights over ecological
issues and we are still approaching the Federal
Government to assist us."he said
