A former governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, who was detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday, has been released.

Mr. Nyako was held after he turned in himself to the anti-graft agency.
Wilson Uwujaren, the spokesperson for the EFCC said Mr. Nyako was released on what he called “administrative basis”.
Mr. Uwujaren said the former governor who is 73 years old, was also released based on his age and health concerns.
He said Mr. Nyako was allowed to go home at about 7p.m. but asked to report frequently at the commission.

Mr. Nyako was impeached as the Adamawa State governor on July 16, 2014 and later declared wanted by the anti-graft agency alongside his son Abdul Aziz Murtala Nyako, a retired naval officer in February.

They were both wanted for criminal conspiracy, stealing, abuse of office and money laundering.
The EFCC had alleged massive looting by top officials in Mr. Nyako’s government.
This led to the arrest of key officials in the state including, the then Secretary to the State Government, the State Commissioner for Finance, the Commissioner for Higher Education, the Accountant General of the State and the Permanent Secretary, Ministry for Local Government.

The EFCC at the time said that its investigation was triggered by petitions alleging massive looting of the treasury by the governor and his cronies through an illegal department called Special Programme and Project Units, SPPU, which engaged in over invoicing and inflation of contract.
At the commencement of the EFCC’s investigations, Mr. Nyako left the country. He returned on Saturday nearly a year later.

The wind of change is blowing politicians to submit themselves to the EFCC, and though Baba Nyako was sent home on account of his age and health, the agency should ensure he is prosecuted and the loot if any, are fully returned to the treasury.

The era of wanton looting without repercussion is over. Change is here.

From visiting frequently, he will stop visiting, from there it will just die off. Then, we will forget about it.
Thats the strategy. Business as usual. "Administrative basis."

cc: lalasticlala the fight against corruption has started.

Nyako case with the EFCC should continue while his allegation against exPGEJ been behind boko-haram should run along.
