EFCC disclosed that 2 of its crucial witnesses in the N29billion fraud
case against former Adamawa state governor Murtala Nyako, his son
Abdulazis and other associates, have died mysteriously. The anti-graft
agency told a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday July 10th
that the mysteriously deaths of the 2 men have put fear in other
witnesses who are now refusing to cooperate with them for fear of the
unknown. EFCC begged the court to remand Nyako and his co-accused as it
would be dangerous to allow them go on bail & also so witnesses
could come forward & testify against them
"Two of our crucial witnesses, Ma’aji Mohammed Iro and Abdulmalik
Dalhatu have died in mysterious circumstances and this has instilled fear
in other prospective witnesses in the case" EFCC told the court
Ma’aji Mohammad Iro was a Regional Manager with Zenith Bank, who was in
charge of Adamawa State Govt's accounts with the bank and allegedly
assisted the former governor in the looting spree.
