- Son a beneficiary
- And a former BBC employee
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has seize four houses worth N872million belonging to former Fct minister Bala Mohammad and his son, Shamsudeen Bala, The Nation reports.
The ex-minister is being investigated for alleged fictitious contract of about N1billion, allocation of 12 choice plots of land worth billions of naira and 37 commercial plots of land worth about N8billion to his suspected front named Tariq Hammoud as well as the controversial N1trillion Abuja land swap.
Among the connived suspects is one Ms Jamila Tangaza who resigned her appointment with BBC on the request of the ex-minister and appointed her as a Senior Special Assistant on Media and Information and was linked to Bala land allocation dealings and her house worth N158million seized. She was charged with abuse of office which she awarded N800million contract to her company Songbird Multimedia and was reported pleading bail while serving detention.
Another interesting development is the son of the former Fct minister Shamsudeen whom was allocated 12 choice plots of land and his four duplexes costing about N222million in the Apo Area of Abuja was seized.
Speaking on the fate of the former Fct boss, the Efcc source said that he is yet to be invited for questioning that they are closing in on him. Meanwhile, the source debunked the rumour that Ms Jamila was handcuffed to her office for documents.
