Alhaji Abdullahi Dikko, a former Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service(NCS), is said to have returned N1,040,000, 000 to the Federal Government. Dikko served as the head of customs between August 2009 and August 2015. He has been on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) radar since the anti-graft agency established that about N40billion was diverted from the coffers of the NCS under his watch. The funds were allegedly drawn from proceeds of the seven per cent cost of collection and one per cent comprehensive import supervision scheme. He was then arrested by the EFCC in June 2016 and later released due to his poor health. The EFCC later seized a mansion{valued at N2billion} belonging to him located at 1 Audu Ogbeh Street, Jabi, Abuja. He is also believed to own properties in Dubai and in Katsina, his home state.



A source within the EFCC has however told PUNCH that Dikko has been returning money to the federal government.According to the source, “So far, Dikko has returned over N1bn. He returned N1bn and then N4m. He is still expected to return more money. The EFCC Act Section 71 (b) gives us the power to commence investigations into the property of any person if it appears to the EFCC that the person’s lifestyle and extent of properties are not justified by law. Section 28 says concerning those arrested under the Act, the commission will immediately trace and attach all the assets and seizures of such a person which have been acquired. Section 29 permits the assets of a person arrested under Section 28 to be seized by the state. Dikko was a customs officer and served for about 30 years. He has to explain where he got the money to buy a mansion of N2bn.”

The law is so unfair to the average man on the street who steals plantain but hellep me see this Dikko ko man Wey move billions and efcc is patronizing him to return one billion.

All the recovered money should be use to boost the economy not borrowing to montage their children future.

Why do I find it so difficult to believe.

Where did he keep/store same?

How did he/they transport it?

Who and how long did it take to count same.

I support the fight against corruption, but they should take it easy abeg.

Seriously we need an upright military man dat we take over dis country, do massive arrest of those dat have held public offices previously and Publicly Execute Everyone of dem Weekly especaily from 1999 cos d civilians are more corrupt dan their military counterpart.

If you have N1 billion and you spend N50,000 daily, you will spend N1 billion for 54.79years and someone stole N40 billion

Haba these guys practically ruined the country.

Its only sad that some people who don't earn up to N50,000 in a month while working their skin off will still come online and be shouting Witch hunting, rule of law, dictator, bla, bla bla.....

SMH

its simple, dig a hole behind your house and bury it.I remember a politician campaigning Last year with 500 naira notes and this money had a 'standard trust bank' strap around it.This bank was merged with UBA more than a decade ago...

Let us all thank Goatluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan. The very detribalized man that looted and shared our resources among his gang of looters from across all the tribes and ethnic groups in Nigeria. The ineffectual buffoon that promoted and encouraged corruption. Please let us all remember that the one billion naira returned by the customs chief is just about one percent of what the thief actually stole. Let us also remember that the one billion naira is far less than the 31 million dollars (31m * 400) in Mama Piss Sheppopo's Skye Bank account. Several other thieves who are GEJ friends still have billions in hidden accounts from Fayose to FFk, to Peter Odili, to Olu Fale, to Jim Nwobodo, to Ganiu Adams, to Northern Elders Forum, to Bafarawa who got 4.3 billion naira for spiritual purpose, to Raymond Dokpesi, to Olisah Metuh, what about the military chiefs? Alex Badeh, Olusola Amosu, e.t.c.the list of looters is endless.

Saying he Returned it as though he found it lying fallow somewhere..


We sirLOOT his honesty ...

You started by saying something reasonable like every patriotic Nigerian should, but ended up sounding like an APC sympathizer.

Where all the money they've been returning?

Pls if you're in ilorin quote me

I'll buy you champagne!

puff puff

gboaa

Some mad and do no good people from the erosion ravaged enclaved will still be here to claim this to be witch hunt . 1 billion is just 1 percent of what he actually stole.

In Nigeria, when you stole 1 million you get 90 years jail.... If you stole 40 billion, just refund 1 billion, your sin will be forgiven.... What a shameful country

thank God we sent Gej away on time b4 him and his ppl milk us dry

Bubu doesn't need to borrow money after all!

so this is what is on point now? Steal billions and return a million.


Naija i hail oo
