The Kwara State Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission has detained 16 local government chairmen who
were suspended by Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
They allegedly misappropriated N4bn loan and 10 percent of the
state’s internally generated revenue.
The local government chairmen arrested on Friday included
Risikat Opakunle, Saidu Yaru Musa, Umar Belle, Ayeni Dallas, Fatai
Adeniyi Garba, Lah Abdulmumeen, Raliat Funmi Salau, Aminat Omodara,
Muyiwa Oladipo.
Others are, Oladipo Omole, Abdullahi Abubakar Bata, Saka
Eleyele, Lateef Gbadamosi, Oni Adebayo Joseph, Omokanye Joshua
Olatunji and Jibril Salihu.
The EFCC in a statement signed by Head of its Media and
Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, said the commission gathered that the
council chiefs, after securing the controversial loans, held a
meeting and decided that N100m of it be shared among
themselves.
According to the EFCC, the council bosses had, on the 7th of
February 2018, written to the Ilorin branch manager of Sterling
Bank requesting a N4bn loan in order to pay the salary arrears of
the State Universal Basic Education Board teachers, local
government staff and the local government pensioners, while the
provisions for N100m for council chairmen were not appropriated in
the request.
It alleged that the council chiefs were also accused of
diverting monthly 10 percent of the internally generated revenue
for their personal use, which was paid directly into their personal
accounts.
The EFCC said that all the suspects, while undergoing
interrogation by the operatives of the Commission, admitted that
N100m was shared from the loan and that they also received 10
percent of the internally generated revenue.
The statement added, “The council bosses are now pleading with
the EFCC to give them some time that they would pay back what they
had benefited from government’s money.”
The EFCC said the politicians were still being held in custody
and might spend the weekend there.
It said they would be charged to court after the investigations
had been concluded.
