₦6.5 Billion: EFCC, ICPC Probe Top Government Official
The EFCC and ICPC are investigating a top government official in Kano, Abdullahi Rogo, over the alleged return of ₦6.5 billion to the recovery account of ICPC. The agencies found that the money was paid for a fictitious contract that was neither awarded nor executed.
Rogo reportedly made a confessional statement to the EFCC but later sought to prevent his arrest and prosecution by depositing a commissioner of oath with the ICPC. Despite his efforts, the Federal High Court in Kano ordered the permanent forfeiture of the money.
Rogo is said to operate an account with AH Bello Business Solutions Limited, which recorded significant inflow and outflow of funds between August 2024 and February 2025. The investigation is ongoing, with strong evidence suggesting that Rogo committed an offense.
