EFCC after they came for his multi-million naira estate.
Mallam Isa Yuguda
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Saturday sealed off
an estate belonging to the immediate past Governor of Bauchi State,
Mallam Isa Yuguda.
The EFCC said on its official Facebook page that the action was
sequel to an order by Justice J. T. Tshoho of a Federal High Court Abuja
for the interim forfeiture of the property.
The commission said, “The EFCC has seized a house located at
184 Attahiru Bafarawa Close, beside Fariah suites , old GRA, Bauchi,
Bauchi State belonging to a former governor of the state, Mallam Isa
Yuguda, pending the conclusion of investigation against him bordering on
abuse of office, money laundering and diversion of public funds.
“The court had directed the Bauchi State Lands Registry to
furnish the EFCC with the copies of all documents including building
plan approval in respect of the property.”
Yuguda, who last year, dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, served
as minister of aviation under former President Olusegun Obasanjo and
also served as governor for two terms on the platform of the party.
