The former governors of Imo and Adamawa
States, Ikedi Ohakim and Murtala Nyako, and
Mr. Nyako’s son, Abdul-aziz, have been
arrested by officials of the Economic Financial
Crimes Commission.
The former governors, and Abdul-aziz Nyako,
who is a senator now, are to be arraigned at a
Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday on
different cases of alleged corruption.
A source at the EFCC had in June told
PREMIUM TIMES that Mr. Ohakim had
questions to answer concerning a number of
properties allegedly traced to him.
The commission said in a statement that the
two Nyakos were wanted on allegations of
stealing, abuse of office and money
laundering.
Mr. Nyako’s son had been interrogated by the
EFCC over alleged illicit funds traced to
companies in which he had interest.
Specifically, he was asked to explain how over
N15 billion belonging to Adamawa State was
allegedly laundered into the accounts of five
companies said to owned by him.
The companies are Blue Opal Nigeria Limited,
Crust Energy Nigeria Limited, Blue Ribbon
Multilinks Limited, Tower Assets Management
Limited and Blue Ribbon Bureau De Change.
The funds were allegedly funnelled into the
accounts of the five companies, from
Adamawa state government bank accounts.
The transfer was done by the account officer
who incidentally is the manager of the bank
and an in-law to former governor, Mr. Nyako.
The EFCC said the manager claimed he
transferred the funds based on verbal
instructions from the former governor for
purposes that were not stated.
The commission said its investigations
revealed that from 2007 to 2011, the then
Governor Nyako directed that all state-owned
accounts domiciled in various banks be
transferred to the account supervised by his
in-law.
Abdul-Aziz Nyako’s company, Blue Opal, is
said to own, among other investments in
Nigeria, an estate in Abuja, while his father’s
account officer owns several properties and
investments scattered around Abuja, Yola and
Kano.
