Buhari’s Son-In-law
The Nigerian Senate committee on public accounts had in April 2021 summoned Kumo to explain the alleged irregular award of an N3 billion contract when he was at Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria.
EveryEvery.ng gathered that the Senate committee issued the summons following a query raised in a 2015-2018 report by the auditor-general’s office of the federation against the bank.
You will recall that Kumo married Fatima, the president’s daughter, in Daura, Katsina State, in 2016.
