Sh*ckwaves! Court Declares Nigerian Lawmaker Wanted Over ₦73.6 Million Fraud
A Federal High Court in Abuja has declared Adamu Aliyu, a member of the Plateau State House of Assembly, wanted over allegations that he defrauded a businessman of ₦73.6 million through a fake Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) contract.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Justice Emeka Nwite issued the order on Friday after granting an application filed by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
Investigators alleged that the funds were split between Aliyu’s personal bank account and that of Imanal Concept Ltd, a company linked to Saad Abubakar. However, when Jidda approached the university, it denied knowledge of the project and later confirmed the contract letter was fake.
The ICPC told the court that Aliyu ignored multiple invitations to appear for questioning and was allegedly planning to flee the country. Justice Nwite therefore declared him wanted, authorising security agencies and even private citizens to arrest and hand him over to the ICPC.
The lawmaker, however, denied the allegations, claiming he was unaware of the ICPC’s summons and had already refunded ₦45m to Jidda’s company. He also denied forging the contract letter, insisting his role was only to deliver it.
Despite his defence, the ICPC said Aliyu is under investigation for fraud, forgery, abuse of office, and diversion of funds, stressing that the court’s approval was necessary to publish a “wanted” notice and, if required, enlist INTERPOL in tracking him.
