Barely six days after 17 “exotic” vehicles were recovered from a Kaduna warehouse belonging to former Comptroller-General of
Nigerian Customs, Abdullahi Dikko Inde, by the EFCC, another set of items including vehicles, tricycles and motorcycles, have been seized.
The items, which were recovered on Monday and Tuesday from another warehouse said to be the property of the former Customs boss include a 2013 model
32-seater Nissan bus, 42 cargo tricycles, one tipper truck, 16 motorcycles, over 500 rug
carpets and two fire-proof safes.
Zonal Head, EFCC in Kaduna, Bappa Ibrahim said the recovery was made following tip-off.
He said the operation, which led to the recovery of the items was a continuation of the anti-graft agency’s investigation on the
former Customs boss.
Ibrahim said the items were recovered from a warehouse, off Nnamdi Azikwe Expressway, around NASFAT village in Igabi
Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The two safes, which were forced open by EFCC operatives in the presence of reporters, contained documents, an iron stamp, 50
and 20 naira notes, amounting to N1,560 and polythene bags.
The Zonal EFCC boss declined comments on the documents found inside the safes, saying further investigations would be
carried out on them.
“The fresh operation, which started on Monday, 27th February, 2017 till today is a continuation of last week operation, which
led to recovery of 17 exotic vehicles.”
He called on the public to always assist the anti-graft agency with information, as the war against corruption is everyone’s and
should not be left for the EFCC alone.
