President Muhammadu Buhari
The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission has declared Gimba Kumo, President Muhammadu Buhari’s son-in-law, wanted over alleged misappropriation of $65 million.
According to ICPC spokesman, the anti-graft agency had also declared Tarry Rufus and Bola Ogunsola wanted over the alleged fraud.
Buhari’s son-in-law, Kumo, a former managing director of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria, allegedly has a connection with issues bordering on misappropriation of National Housing Funds $65 million.
ICPC urged the general public to provide information about Buhari’s son-in-law and the wanted persons by reporting to ICPC Headquarters Abuja, any ICPC State Offices or the nearest police station.
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.
