Shielded for four years from prosecution from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the current Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed already had his plans set out at dawn, right from when he was made the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Smart, cunning and crafty, Bala knew that what money cannot buy, more money can buy and that includes getting himself free from persecution and prosecution from the powers that be.

Knowing that power is transient and its lure appealing for men of easy virtues like him, he pilfered the national treasury not just for himself but to also settle people when the long arms of the law come calling. And truly, his projection came to pass when he left office. But first of all, what made him so powerful and influential that he is alleged to own over a hundred properties in Abuja spread across the city?

The former FCT Minister was the Chairman of the board of directors of the lucrative Aso Savings and Loans but also in charge of the Abuja Geographical Information System (AGIS) which is in charge of all the lands in Abuja. SecretReporters sources in EFCC disclosed that with these two juicy government bodies under his nose, his pen wreaked havoc on the city and in turn public funds as he allocated lands to himself and associates while bending the board of Aso Savings and Loans to do his bidding. Confidential sources within the commission in their investigation pegged the Bauchi Governor as owning properties worth $2,739,726,027,00 which is over N1 trillion, all acquired in the space of 2010-2015.

Most of these funds were acquired and laundered in collaboration with his jobless 23 years son, Shamsudeen Bala, who is now 26 years. As FCT Minister, sources disclosed that he got the two bodies he heads to allocate to him lands under the ‘Green Areas’ plan in Maitama to himself and four fully detached duplexes and eleven semi-detached duplexes valued at $860,000 which is locally converted to be N309.6 million.

The EFCC has also alleged that a whooping sum of N550 million was collected as bribe from Aso Savings and Loans in exchange for his political goodwill concerning some properties in Asokoro.

Arraigned by the anti-graft commission and properties forfeited in the interim with most of them, not in the public domain, SecretReporters can report that the former Senator turned governor lied to the public about the properties which were...

You mean top officials of the incorruptible PMB who rode to power with promise of wiping out corruption were gifted with choice properties by Bala Mohammed and they let him be?

Am abit confused why will a man who is covered by immunity give out houses to appease anyone?

The accused forfeited 25 properties in choice location in Abuja? If you ever lived in Abuja, you know that the locations where the governor forfeited these so called properties are all highbrow areas and only 1one person is able to allocation and buy all these luxury apartments? This sounds more like a script for telenovas please. As cunning and crafty as described by your medium, senator Bala Mohammed didn’t assign someone to buy houses on behalf of his son so that he can cunningly cover his tracks and insulate his family, from whatever crime he will be accused of in the future when the "long arm of law comes calling"?. Try and be more creative next time that way, you can drive more traffic to your site which obviously is your aim but more so you won’t be seen as a chalatan who is helping EFCC amplify their media trial or better still so your pay master will pay you more for tarnishing the image of their percieved enemy.

They say, “they pen is mightier than sword” Me; if only you are being objective enough. By the way how comes you never bothered to find out the accused own side of the story SecretReporter? This is nothing other than a smear campaign.
