EFCC DISCOVERED N1 BILLION IN JAMILA TANGAZA’S BANK ACCOUNT UNDER A FAKE NAME.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has discovered and recovered over N1 Billion from Jamila Tangaza stashed away in a Commercial Bank in Nasarawa State with a fake Name, Identity, and other particulars but with her GSM Number attached to the account.

It was learnt that EFCC agents are looking to unravel a massive financial kickback regime in the administration of the FCT.

The discovery comes as the EFCC said they have expanded investigation into  alleged corrupt practices in the immediate past leadership of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) and Abuja Information Management Systems (AGIS).

Elombah.com gathered that both serving and former officials of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Administration and the Abuja Geographic Information  Systems (AGIS) are under probe.

This follows the interrogation and detention of Jamila Tangaza, a former BBC journalist, who was appointed to head AGIS by the immediate past minister of the FCT Bala Mohammed.

She was quizzed over allegations, she bought a house in the Asokoro Area of Abuja worth  N170 million.

The house is said to have been allegedly bought from proceeds of financial benefits, illegally received while in charge of AGIS.

 As at the time of posting this report, Daily Trust learnt that Jamila Tangaza may still be in detention.

She is also said to have had some difficulty with the bail conditions set by the EFCC.

She has been detained since Wednesday, 27th July 2016.

The usual EFCC bail condition requires one or two sureties with landed property in Abuja.
