Sultan Of Sokoto Abubakar Sa’ad Is Named In N700million Paris Refund Fraud by Trut(m): 10:10am On Jul 27, 2017 |
Crack detectives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Tuesday and Wednesday interrogated Kabir Tafida, the Sarkin Fada of Sokoto, who also acts as the chief of staff to Sultan Abubakar Sa’ad. Mr. Tafida was questioned over a suspicious transfer of N700 million into his account from the Sokoto State government account, people familiar with the matter told PREMIUM TIMES. He was released on administrative bail Wednesday evening following what a source described as “unceasing pressure on the EFCC by the Sultan and the Sokoto State government”. Mr. Tafida was first invited to the EFCC office in Abuja on Tuesday where he was interrogated by a team of investigators. He was then asked to return on Wednesday for more questioning. One source said the money in question was taken from the Sokoto State’s share of the Paris club refund recently made to Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, but PREMIUM TIMES is unable to independently verify that claim. But we were able to clearly determine that at least N700million was recently transferred from the Sokoto State government account to Mr. Tafida. The kingmaker is not known to have offered any service to the goverment, investigators said, adding, “the suspect has also been receiving huge funds from the government of Sokoto on behalf of the Sultan.” Mr. Tafida was reportedly allowed to go home on Tuesday on self recognizance following pressure from the Sultan and the Sokoto governor, another source said. When contacted Wednesday evening, Imam Imam, the spokesperson to Governor Aminu Tambuwal, simply said he had just learnt of the development and that the Sokoto State government would issue a statement shortly. No such statement has been sent to PREMIUM TIMES as at 7 a.m. Thursday. However, a top official of the state government said the N700 million traced to the Sarkin Fada “is from the government of Sokoto State and is meant for the purchase of a House for the Sultan in Abuja”. He said the monarch lacked official residence in the nation’s capital, adding, “the matter was discussed extensively at the meeting of the state executive council and due approval granted. “In fact, the money is captured in the state’s 2017 budget and was officially released,” he said. But investigators said the state has to explain why the funds was transferred to Mr. Tafida’s personal account rather than that of the Sultanate. “Also why was the money not paid to an estate agent or a contractor buying or building a house for the Sultan,” one investigator said. “As far as we are concerned, there is something suspicious about this transaction.” The spokesperson for the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, could not be reached to comment for this story as his known mobile telephone lines failed to connect Wednesday evening and Thursday morning.

This is very possible. Anyone and everyone involved in diverting public funds shall be held accountable. The Sultan inclusive. After all if the right things were done the so called Sultan isn't actually qualified to be one. 2 Likes |

When some of us say Nigeria is irreedeemable. people call us names. Every damn person is corrupt. we are all on the waiting list to loot. Any one not looting is for lack of opportunity. where its worrisome is that people loot and loot extra for legal battles in case caught. Imagine national assembly members of all things worrying NIGERIA giving themselves immunity. we are irredeemable. 54 Likes 5 Shares |

"He said the monarch lacks official residence in the nation's capital..." Isn't this lame? Why does the monarch need an official residence in the FCT? Is he now the sultan of Abuja as well as being that of Sokoto? From my understanding,the official residence of a monarch is his palace. If they are trying to set up another official residence for him in Abuja,does that then that mean that he has now extended his domain to Abuja? Why do we even still have these over-fed "monarchs" around? 69 Likes 3 Shares |

mansakhalifa: -Nigeria was created for them and managed by them. All the August visitors from the US(John Kerry, representing Obama) and the UK(Tony Blair, from the British establishment) recently, have all flown to meet them in the North. Abuja is the capital of their country. Who amongst the tribes in the North or Middle-belt will reject this their new project? They set up Sharia courts in their land with an Appeal court situated in Abuja, with no objections and their sharia "judges" have same authority as the judges presiding court cases for the commoners like you. Accept the situation or join us in the call to restore the constituents Nations for the betterment of the people. 27 Likes |

RZArecta: U know southerner generally don't practice the game of Fulani politics. May be because of Christianity and stuff. The HausaFulaniKanuris-Muslims style of politics is outright demonic. The whole noise of corruption around all the people with GEJ is false. They already know that GEJ has one more term to seek for presidency and this scare them to their bones. They therefore want to remove all the people that are closer to GEJ. DSP Alams is down, FelixObua- CSO to GEJ down, Patience account frozen and her life is under threat, Dezieni is next, after all the folks in PDP who were loyal to GEJ were hounded to EFCC and DSS gulag. They now took a step further yesterday by passing a bill to prevent GEJ from ever seeking presidency again. What kind of country is this abeg?? 23 Likes 1 Share |
