The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is set to declare a former commissioner in Niger State wanted over N6billion fraud. Acting Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu disclosed that Kantigi Liman should make himself available for interrogation over the discovery of N6billion traceable to him or risk being declared wanted.

The ex-commissioner for Local Government in Niger State served under ex-Governor Aliyu Babangida and sources at EFCC told us that it had traced additional N2billion to Liman and companies linked to him and would require to interrogate him urgently to determine how the money came into his accounts.

Insiders revealed that; “The discovery brings to N6billion traced to accounts held by the politician and companies linked to him. The Commission had some weeks earlier traced N4billion to two accounts in another bank, both linked to Liman. The first account belongs to Sadiq Air Travel Agency Limited and the second to Kantigi.”

Sources at the EFCC said: “He’s dodging the operatives and must be fished out to face interrogation. He is on the run and all efforts to track him down have been futile. The next option left for the Commission is to declare him wanted. Investigations so far pointed to the direction that the funds were siphoned from the Niger State Local Government Joint Account and the anti-graft agency was ready to confront the suspect with evidence. The politician is raking in a monthly interest of over N33million on the fixed deposits.”
