Alleged N82billion Scam: Adamawa To Probe Nyako
Oyebola Akinola
Another twist was yesterday added to the political imbroglio rocking Adamawa State as the acting governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri vowed to punish the former governor of the state, Murtala Nyako, who allegedly squandered the states resources to the tune of about N82billion.
Fintiri, who made the remark during a PDP stakeholders meeting which took place at the government house, Yola, said the punishment will serve as a deterrent to any leader with an insatiable lust to steal public funds.
He said he will inaugurate the panel of inquiry which will look into the financial fraud perpetrated by the former governor on Monday, to unravel the financial misconduct carried out by the previous administration which plunged the state into abysmal decay.
Fintiri noted that the main reason for instituting the panel is for the government and the people of Adamawa to be able to recover the stolen resources of the state, so that they can be put to better use.
“We are going to ensure that all Adamawa funds in private accounts are retrieved back into the state coffers. We shall also ensure that all properties acquired with Adamawa resources are also retrieved, so that their values can be channelled into Adamawa State resources,” he said.
