Reps give Farida ultimatum to return EFCC property
EFCC Politics, Headlines, House, Legislature Tuesday, March 27th, 2012* It’s part of hidden agenda to kill her – Aide
THE House of Representatives Committee on Drugs, Narcotics and Financial Crimes has written the sacked chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mrs Farida Waziri, over her failure to hand over the property of the commission in her possession.
The committee, through its chairman, Honourable Jagaba Jagaba, in a letter dated March 19, 2012, said “despite the handing over process you undertook when you were leaving office on Monday, November 28, 2011, the House of Representatives Committee on Drugs, Narcotics and Financial Crimes discovered during one of its oversight visit that you are still in possession of the commission’s official vehicles, still occupying residential property belonging to the commission and other government property,” adding that “this is in contravention to laid down government regulations.”
The committee asked Farida to hand over all government property in her custody on or before April 12, otherwise she would be summoned.
Reacting, Farida said she could not understand why the issue should become a media matter, when the two-week ultimatum given her by the committee had not lapsed.
She said it was all part of a hidden agenda by those who were after her life.
Speaking through her aide, who did not want his name in print, Farida claimed that the issue of having some of her personal belongings in the annex of the house had been settled with her successor, Ibrahim Lamorde, wondering the reason for the re-opening of the matter, especially in the media.
“We believe that this is a part of the hidden agenda of those who wanted to kill her. In her less than three days in the country, she has been receiving threats from those she was prosecuting before she left office. They have been boasting that they ensured her removal from office and that they are not through with her,” the aide saidwp_posts
