Former Katsina State Governor Ibrahim Shema’s three mansions have been seized by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commissions over his alleged involvement in a N74.6billion fraud. The houses remain seized until the Commission (EFCC) concludes its probe of the allegation.
Shema who is currently been detained was subjected to another round of grilling yesterday by the commission.
Operatives of the anti-graft agency stormed Katsina on Monday following preliminary interaction with the ex-governor.
The detectives sealed off the ex-governor’s houses at 1 GRA Modoji Road, Barhim Estate, Madachi Road and Makera Estate, Kirni Road.
A source in the EFCC, who pleaded not to be named because he is not authorised to talk to the media, said: “Our investigative team on Monday grilled the ex-governor for some hours on more contracts executed during his tenure.
Following a petition by the government of Katsina State, the EFCC quizzed Shema on alleged diversion of N18.6billion by himself, his sons and cronies.
It also asked the ex-governor to account for alleged mismanagement of over N56billion in seven years and N30billion security votes by the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.
