Adamu’s name appeared as a co-signatory to
the collection of the state’s share from
officials of Fidelity Bank, but he denied any
knowledge of how the money was eventually
shared, saying it was done at Government
House, Yola.
A team of investigators handling the
campaign slush fund interrogated the elder
statesman who arrived EFCC’s Zonal Office in
Gombe around 9.30 am, and was grilled for
several hours before he was allowed to return
home.
Adamu was abroad when his name appeared
as co-signatory to the collection of the share
of Adamawa State from Fidelity bank.
He admitted his involvement at that level but
said the money was taken to Government
House in a bullion van by the officials of the
bank.
Adamu added that the Chief of Staff to the
Acting Governor, Mr. James Ngilari, Alhaji
Hamman, and Accountant to Government
House, Mrs. Aisha Waziri, counted the money
and confirmed the figure.
According to him, the duo became custodians
of the fund, based on the directive of their
boss, the governor.
Meanwhile, Ngilari, who also was at the
commission’s office, denied authorizing his
former aides to take custody of the fund. At
the time of this report, a detention order had
been signed and most likely, he would spend
the night in EFCC custody.
