…Says ex-President was aware how cabal members fraudulently enriched themselves
Former military governor of Old Kaduna State, Abubakar ?angiwa Umar, has described the administration of ex-President, Muhammadu Buhari as the most corrupt government in Nigeria.
Umar, a retired colonel, who made this claim in an interview yesterday, said Buhari, while in government, ruled over the most corrupt administration in the history of this country.
The former military governor stated that the current Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) probe shows the level of fraud perpetrated under Buhari. He further stated that the President’s cabal fraudulently enriched itself through forex round-tripping and Anchor Borrowers fraud during his leadership.
According to Umar, the President was aware of how some President cabal made themselves rich fraudulently, saying they must be probed and the looted funds recovered.
Speaking on the level of corruption perpetrated under the Buhari administration, the ex-military Governor said, “The on-going CBN probe will lay bare the monumental financial fraud that happened under Buhari’s watch. It will reveal how the President’s cabal fraudulently enriched itself through forex round-tripping and Anchor Borrowers fraud. The claim that the President was unaware is false.
“He was made aware by the Department of State Services (DSS), and advised to cause the arrest and investigation of the CBN governor. He was prevailed upon by beneficiaries not to take any action which would expose them. One will not be wrong in saying that Nigeria has become a truly fantastically corrupt nation in the last eight years”.
