PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari’s former son-in-law, Gimba Yau Kumo, and two others were on Thursday declared wanted by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission over diversion and misappropriation of $65 million National Housing fund.
A source close to Trojan.com.ng revealed that President Buhari and Mallam Mamman Daura had vowed to deal with Engr. Gimba Kumo by resurrating his case with the EFCC for divorcing their daughter.
“They wanted to arrest him during this present Sallah holiday. The whole story is cooked and ICPC has not invited him even for once. He has all the required documents to prove his case.
“The issue relates to Goodluck Jonathan Legacy Estate which he started in 2013 and when Buhari came into power he could not continue with the project. The case has been with the EFCC and they are fully aware but they could not get what they want and they when to ICPC to arrest him”, the source said.
