Corruption: EFCC Declares Former Katsina State Governor, Wanted! For looting 18Billion Naira

The Economic and Financial  crime commission (EFCC)  has declared the former Katsina state governor Ibrahim Shema wanted  over the diversion of N18 billion from the local government areas joint account and also for  criminal conspiracy. He was governor of the state from May 2007 to May 2015.

Vanguard reports  says that the anti-graft agency resorted to declaring the former governor wanted after its operatives could not locate him for arrest in his Asokoro residence.
It also narrates how the operatives went to Shema's home in the highbrow Asokoro District to pick up the top PDP politician but missed him.

"We have been monitoring him with a view to bringing him for interrogation but by the time our operatives arrived his compound, he was not there.

"The truth is that we had run out of patience with the former governor's numerous excuses and had to declare him wanted because he has been inventing reasons to avoid honouring our invitations," a top EFCC official told Vanguard.

We have been looking for him to explain how he diverted more than N18 billion from the joint local government account and mismanaging the funds thereby causing hardship for the people of the state but he has been evading us," the source added.
