Former BBC reporter, Jamila Tangaza
A former BBC reporter, Jamila Tangaza, has been declared wanted by
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. The announcement was
made on Monday, October 24, 2016 by the acting Chairman of the EFCC,
Ibrahim Magu.
According to Magu, Tangaza tried to jump bail and escape from the
country over allegations of financial crimes to the tune of about N800
million leveled against her.
She is said to have abused her office by misappropriating funds
when she served as the Director of Abuja Geographic Information Systems
(AGIS) and Senior Special Assistant to the former Federal Capital
Territory Minister (FCT), Bala Mohammed.
Magu also said Tangaza is currently on administrative bail, thus if
she jumps bail is committing another crime, noting that her bail surety
has been summoned.
