“END of the road may have come politically for Murtala Nyako, the former governor of Adamawa State who once ruled the state like his personal property by allegedly appointing his wife, son-in-law, girlfriend, among others into plum positions in the state”, in a bid to looting the state blind of the tax payers’ hard earned resources.
To say, the former Chief of Naval Staff may end up in jail at the end of this raging financial crisis which has torn into pieces his remaining integrity is stating the obvious.
Nyako Weeps, Loot over N2bn in 10 months
Having been found guilty of 16 out of 20 allegations leveled against him and impeached by Adamawa State House of Assembly (ASHA) few days ago, a reliable close to the former governor who would not want his name in print since he is not authorized, told Naija Standard that Nyako pressed all ‘buttons’, did all to cajole the lawmakers to dismiss the impeachment threat, but the lawmakers held their ground. And after his impeachment, our source said: “Nyako could not sleep, he wept like a baby because he knows he has lost immunity against arrest. I can tell you that few hours to his impeachment; all his security details-including police orderlies were withdrawn. He became like a common man on the streets. He could hardly sleep, fearing that anti-graft agency like the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) could pick him up any time.” His Deputy, quickly resigned due to the shame.
Naija Standard gathered that in 10 months, the ‘shameful-politician’ allegedly squandered over the sum of N2bn using his son-in-law as a front who earlier took charge of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) projects which ought to breathe fresh life and hope to the less privileged people in the state, by empowering them with jobs. Rather, a ‘fictitious’ N2bn loan re-payment was created through another phony commercial bank account in the state. Huge funds, our correspondents learnt exchanged ‘hands’ which allegedly ended in Nyako’s secretly ‘coded account’.
Unknown to Nyako, while this ‘fake-wealth accumulation’ lasted, the lawmakers had compiled a list of his infamous financial misdeeds through a mole in the commercial bank, a lady (names with held) an alleged acquaintance of the erstwhile governor who squealed the full details of the financial scam of the former chief security officer of Adamawa State to the some of the legislators.
The report cited the office of the MDGs being managed by Dr Salihu Bakari, the son in-law to the governor, as being behind the fictitious N2 billion loan repayments between the office and one commercial bank in the state.
Nyako, contrary to laws appointed one of his wives as the state chairperson of the State Action Committee on AIDS (SACA), in a bid to loot more money. The lawmakers indicted Nyako in this regard with verifiable evidence.
Before this report, was eventually urged to be adopted by Honorable Jerry Kumdisi, ably supported by Honorable Laori, who also commented on the same matter, adding that the assembly had met the two-third requirements needed to adopt the report which indicted the governor, undercover investigation by our Naija Standard showed how Nyako allegedly fund terrorism with state-resources, under the cover of darkness.
Converts Civil Servant Salaries to fund Terror Sect’-INVESTIGATION
Our Correspondents can assuredly tell you that Nyako allegedly combined his monthly security votes and huge parts of funds stashed away in the commercial bank to support Boko Haram acquisition of brand new ‘Hilux’ vehicles, ammunitions, bombs and assorted weapons-in a bid to cause confusion in Northern Nigeria.
EFCC Steps up plan to arrest embattled former Gov
It was in view of all these stunning revelations, that EFCC placed an embargo on the state accounts, and set up plans to grill Nyako for financial crimes including his alleged diversion of local government funds, terrorism and felony.
To ensure that Nyako has no escape route, the anti-graft agency has spread their dragnets to the mansion of the former governor, increased surveillance at the airport, border, his mobile phones have been bugged with daily collection of all his call-logs through the mobile carriers service trackers.
Boko Haram Secret Plot to Attack Ahmadu Fintiri, Acting Gov Exposed
Naija Standard stumbles upon a secret plan by the deadly Boko Haram sect to attack the newly installed Acting Governor of Adamawa State, so as to cause lawlessness in the state. Our intelligence reports reveal that if that fails, the former Speaker may be ‘kidnapped’ and taken hostage, with untold threat to his life. Naija Standard gathered that this is full-proof plan secretly ordered by Abubakar Shekau to demystify the lawmakers and cause chaos in the country.
“Nyako’s Impeachment Shocking, Retrogressing’-Rivers APC
In a reactionary move, All Progressives Congress (APC) to which Nyako belong has issued statement, saying “Shocking and retrogressive, the impeachment of 15th July, 2014 by the Adamawa State House of Assembly, of the Governor of Adamawa State, Nyako.”
The Press Statement signed on behalf of Rivers APC Chairman, Chief (Dr.) Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, by Chukwuemeka Eze, stated that: ““We never thought that Adamawa State lawmakers would allow external forces to cause them to impeach a Governor that was not only duly elected but also enjoyed the overwhelming support of the people of Adamawa State just to satisfy the selfish and evil plots of undemocratic elements operating from Abuja. To us, this is a retrogressive development aimed at rubbishing a man who has sacrificed so much for the unity and progress of Nigeria as a nation.”
