Mega Looting Exposed! EFCC, ICPC Probe Powerful Government Insider Over ₦6.5bn Fraud

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have accused a top aide to Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, of diverting public funds through proxies.

Reports indicate that the Director-General of Protocol at the Kano Government House, Abdullahi Rogo, allegedly refunded ₦1,109,230,000 into an ICPC recovery account after being linked to financial misconduct.

Court documents reveal that the EFCC uncovered ₦6.5 billion paid out for fictitious contracts—projects that were neither awarded nor executed.

Rogo was said to have made a confessional statement to the EFCC before approaching the Kano State High Court, Bichi Division, seeking protection from further arrest and prosecution.

In counter-affidavits, both the ICPC and EFCC maintained that there was overwhelming evidence implicating the suspect. A litigation officer with the ICPC, David Nelson Efut, urged the court to dismiss Rogo’s fundamental rights suit, describing it as frivolous and a deliberate attempt to stop the anti-graft agencies from fulfilling their legal duties.

Justice M.N. Yunusa of the Federal High Court, Kano, has since ordered the permanent forfeiture of ₦142.2 million to the ICPC.

Further investigations revealed that Rogo operated an account [0505572562] with Alternative Bank under the name AH Bello Business Solutions Limited, which recorded inflows of ₦3.06 billion and outflows of ₦2.59 billion between August 2024 and February 2025.

Sources also disclosed that his personal Zenith Bank account [1003666925] received inflows of ₦2.28 billion and outflows of ₦2.26 billion between January 2022 and January 2025, leaving a balance of ₦39.3 million.
