Former
Borno Governor, Ali Modu Sheriff spent his second day with the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Thursday, trying to explain all that he
knew about the alleged siphoning of over N300 billion under his watch.
The
operatives, who started questioning Sheriff at 6pm on Wednesday merely allowed
him some breathing space on Wednesday night and ordered him to report on
Thursday for more grilling, a directive, he obliged.
An EFCC
source confirmed to Vanguard last night that he would not know when the former
governor would be freed by his interrogators, who really wanted to establish
the veracity of the story relating to the N300 billion.
“The
former governor was asked to go home on Wednesday night and he returned to us
at 10 am on Thursday and he is still with us as I speak to you,” a senior
official of the anti-graft agency said.
The
former governor walked into the hands of his interrogators at the commission’s
head office in Abuja at 6pm on Wednesday and was immediately taken by his
interrogators.
A top
source at the commission confirmed to Vanguard that Sheriff was quizzed over
the sum of N300 billion taken from the coffers of the state without any work
done with it as claimed by his administration.
“We want
the former governor to also explain to us how the sum of N13 which was taken
from local government joint account in the state was used and what it was used
for,” the source said.
