EFCC Seal off 3 Houses belonging to Ibrahim Shema

Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has sealed off three houses belonging to the former governor of Katsina State, Ibrahim Shema who is currently being investigated for alleged fraud.

Yesterday, the anti-graft agency pasted an inscription “EFCC. Under Investigation” on the walls of the buildings.

The three houses are located at Makera Estate, along Daura Road, Barhim Estate and the Government Reserved Area, all in Katsina.

The former governor’s spokesman, Oluwabusola Olawale however said the houses were acquired legitimately, asking the EFCC to be fair in its investigations.

The Lawyer who as Governor until May 29th last year is being investigated by the EFCC for alleged fraud and diversion of funds in the sum of N76bn.

The anti-graft agency had declared him wanted after claiming that he has failed to honour its invitation although Shema through his spokesperson had said he was away when the invitation was sent, stating that his lawyers responded to the EFCC for another but were not given any reply.
