EFCC seizes three buildings, bank accounts traced to former Director.

The EFCC has frozen three bank accounts allegedly belonging to erstwhile Finance Director in the Office of the National Security Adviser, ONSA, Mr Shuaibu Salisu.

The anti graft agency also invoked the Interim Assets Forfeiture clause in its Establishment Act to seize three duplexes, valued at N810million in Lake View Estate in Jabi, Abuja, which were allegedly traced to Mr Salisu.

The EFCC took the actions in furtherance of its current investigation into the $2b phantom arms contracts.

According to the anti graft agency, Salisu “diverted government funds and made illegal payments to his companies from ONSA’s accounts."

THE NATION reports that Salisu used four slush companies, namely,  Famskan Exquisite Travel Tours, Starr Concrete Blocks PPTYS, Famskan Exquisite Limited and Musim Ventures to perpetrate the fraud.

THE NATION quotes a top EFCC source as saying that ;
“We have frozen three key accounts of a former Director of Finance of ONSA. By the time the figures are collated, we will tell you the actual amount. But out of N600million deposited in one of the accounts on October2, 2014, about N100million was given to one Alh. Bashir.

“All the three banks involved have been asked to put PNB on the accounts.

“As I am talking to you, we have invoked the Interim Assets Forfeiture Clause to seize three duplexes (at N270million each) at Lake View Estate, Jabi which were traced to Salisu.”
