ICPC Declares Buhari’s Son-In-Law, Two Others Wanted For
$65m Fraud
The Independent Corrupt Practices
and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, has declared Gimba Yau Kumo,
son-in-law to President Muhammadu Buhari wanted for alleged $65 million fraud.
Kumo, a former Managing Director,
Federal Mortgage Bank, got married to Buhari’s daughter in October 2016 in
Daura, Katsina State.
The commission in a notice
published on its website said Kumo was wanted alongside Tarry Rufus and Bola
Ogunsola over alleged misappropriation and dispersion of national housing fund.
The notice was signed by the ICPC
spokesperson, Mrs Azuka Ogugua.
Kumo’s tenure at FMBN was
characterised by allegations of corruption.
He and three others allegedly
paid themselves outrageous severance packages at the end of their tenure in
October 2014.
In April, the senate committee on
public accounts summoned Kumo to explain the alleged irregular award of N3
billion contract when he was still at the bank.
