EFCC quizzes ex-Gov Jang on N10bn questionable deals

For seven hours on Monday, operatives of the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission grilled the former governor of
Plateau State, Jonah Jang, now the Senator representing Jos North
over alleged misuse of cash worth N10 billion while in
office.

Jang, who arrived the EFCC office in Abuja around 11 am was
questioned on a number of financial deals involving him, until 6pm,
when he was allowed to go home.

A source in the anti-graft agency confirmed to our reporter that
Jang was questioned particularly on the N2 billion he allegedly
diverted from funding small business holders under the Small, Micro
and Medium Enterprises.

The money, the source explained, was meant to be disbursed to
the small businessmen but the former governor inexplicably moved it
to unknown causes, thereby denying the beneficiaries of the cash
and stifled their businesses.
