It was learnt that the former SSG and the Director of Finance, Government House, were at the headquarters of the EFCC at Wuse 11, Abuja to respond to the commission’s invitation.
A source,
who confided in our correspondent, said that Aris and the finance director
arrived the EFCC headquarters by 11am and were still with the operatives by
1pm.
The EFCC
had arrested the SSG, the commissioners for Finance and the Local Government in
relation with the alleged looting of the state treasury by top officials of the
government on June 20, 2014.
The state
lawmakers had removed Governor Murtala Nyako from office and compelled his
Deputy, Mr. Bala Ngilari, to resign from office as a result of the allegations
of fraud against the duo and other top officials of the government.
A source
at the EFCC said that some officials of the state government, who were not
interrogated, when the SSG and other officials of the state government were
quizzed in June, had been summoned to Abuja to face interrogation.
When our
correspondent contacted the Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson
Uwujaren, he said that he was not aware of the presence of the two government
officials at the commission’s headquarters.
Uwujaren
said that he was aware of the fact that officials of the state government had
been interrogated in relation with the alleged looting of the state’s fund in
the past.
“I am
aware that a number of officials were invited and questioned in the past. But I
don’t have this information yet,” he said.
The
commission had interrogated Ngilari for three hours in relation with the
alleged fraud on Tuesday.
Uwujaren
also said that the commission had concluded arrangement to declare Nyako wanted
for his refusal to honour repeated invitationsof the commission.
